at all. You explained why you were hurt, your partner explained why he didn&#8217;t mean to, you tried to clarify what you said and he repeated again what happened from his perspective. You both talked, and in the end each of you is left with the same feeling: the person I most want to understand me doesn&#8217;t really understand.<\/p><p>Couples who come to me very often say they have a &#8220;communication problem.&#8221; When I listen to them, I discover that most of them actually don&#8217;t lack words. They know how to explain, justify, give examples and describe what happened, and sometimes they&#8217;ve already had the same conversation dozens of times. At a certain point I start checking another possibility: maybe the difficulty in couple communication is no longer finding the right words, but meeting what the conversation reveals.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-6113343 elementor-toc--content-ellipsis elementor-toc--minimized-on-desktop elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-global elementor-global-4630 elementor-global-752 elementor-widget-table-of-contents\" data-id=\"6113343\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;exclude_headings_by_selector&quot;:[],&quot;no_headings_message&quot;:&quot;\\u05dc\\u05d0 \\u05e0\\u05de\\u05e6\\u05d0\\u05d5 \\u05db\\u05d5\\u05ea\\u05e8\\u05d5\\u05ea \\u05d1\\u05e2\\u05de\\u05d5\\u05d3 \\u05d6\\u05d4&quot;,&quot;min_height&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;px&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:170,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;headings_by_tags&quot;:[&quot;h2&quot;,&quot;h3&quot;],&quot;min_height_tablet&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;vh&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;min_height_mobile&quot;:{&quot;unit&quot;:&quot;vh&quot;,&quot;size&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;sizes&quot;:[]},&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;,&quot;minimized_on&quot;:&quot;desktop&quot;,&quot;marker_view&quot;:&quot;numbers&quot;,&quot;minimize_box&quot;:&quot;yes&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"table-of-contents.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__header\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<h4 class=\"elementor-toc__header-title\">\n\t\t\t\tArticle Navigation\t\t\t<\/h4>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--expand\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__6113343\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Open table of contents\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-down\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M207.029 381.476L12.686 187.132c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941l22.667-22.667c9.357-9.357 24.522-9.375 33.901-.04L224 284.505l154.745-154.021c9.379-9.335 24.544-9.317 33.901.04l22.667 22.667c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941L240.971 381.476c-9.373 9.372-24.569 9.372-33.942 0z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__toggle-button elementor-toc__toggle-button--collapse\" role=\"button\" tabindex=\"0\" aria-controls=\"elementor-toc__6113343\" aria-expanded=\"true\" aria-label=\"Close table of contents\"><svg aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"e-font-icon-svg e-fas-chevron-up\" viewBox=\"0 0 448 512\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M240.971 130.524l194.343 194.343c9.373 9.373 9.373 24.569 0 33.941l-22.667 22.667c-9.357 9.357-24.522 9.375-33.901.04L224 227.495 69.255 381.516c-9.379 9.335-24.544 9.317-33.901-.04l-22.667-22.667c-9.373-9.373-9.373-24.569 0-33.941L207.03 130.525c9.372-9.373 24.568-9.373 33.941-.001z\"><\/path><\/svg><\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div id=\"elementor-toc__6113343\" class=\"elementor-toc__body\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-toc__spinner-container\">\n\t\t\t\t<svg class=\"elementor-toc__spinner eicon-animation-spin e-font-icon-svg e-eicon-loading\" aria-hidden=\"true\" viewBox=\"0 0 1000 1000\" xmlns=\"http:\/\/www.w3.org\/2000\/svg\"><path d=\"M500 975V858C696 858 858 696 858 500S696 142 500 142 142 304 142 500H25C25 237 238 25 500 25S975 237 975 500 763 975 500 975Z\"><\/path><\/svg>\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-918aa9f elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"918aa9f\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>We also hear what isn&#8217;t said<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Suppose you say to your partner: <em>&#8220;I need you to be with me more.&#8221;<\/em> You know what you meant. You&#8217;ve had a busy week, you miss him and you feel like you&#8217;re very occupied with the house and the kids and there&#8217;s almost no time left for the two of you. He might hear something completely different in that same sentence: <em>&#8220;Again you&#8217;re not enough.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">From here the conversation can develop quickly. You try to explain that you&#8217;re asking for closeness, and he explains how much he does and how much he&#8217;s present. The more he explains, the less understood you feel, and the more you try to make him understand your pain, the more criticism he hears. Within a few minutes you&#8217;re no longer talking only about your longing, but about the question of which of you is describing what&#8217;s happening between you correctly.<\/p> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is one of the places where couple communication gets complicated. You want him to acknowledge that you were hurt, and he wants you to acknowledge that he didn&#8217;t mean to hurt. You&#8217;re afraid that acknowledging his intention will cancel out your hurt, and he&#8217;s afraid that acknowledging your hurt will turn him into someone who hurt you intentionally. Each of you is now defending both your own experience and the way you want to be seen in the other&#8217;s eyes.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It&#8217;s possible to hold both of these experiences in the same conversation. He didn&#8217;t mean to hurt you and you were hurt. His intention matters, and your experience matters. The difficulty begins when one of them has to erase the other so that someone can feel their reality has been given space.<\/p><h2>How a conversation starts changes what will happen in it<\/h2> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There&#8217;s a big difference between <em>&#8220;You&#8217;re never present with me&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;I miss you. I miss time when we&#8217;re really together.&#8221;<\/em> Both sentences can contain the same pain, but the first already includes a conclusion about your partner and about the way he conducts himself in the relationship. The second tells something about you and what you&#8217;re asking of him.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When we&#8217;re hurt, it&#8217;s very easy to move from describing our experience to defining the person in front of us. <em>&#8220;You&#8217;re indifferent,&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;re critical,&#8221; &#8220;You never listen,&#8221; &#8220;You always have to be right.&#8221;<\/em> At this moment the conversation is no longer only about what happened. Your partner is now required to accept the description you&#8217;ve given him of himself or defend against it.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There&#8217;s also a temptation here worth recognizing. As long as the problem is in your partner&#8217;s character, you can keep focusing on him. It&#8217;s much more vulnerable to say what happened to you, what matters to you and what you&#8217;re asking for. And it&#8217;s even harder to bring that request without knowing what answer you&#8217;ll get.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I suggest taking responsibility for your part in the conversation: describe what happened, name your experience and say clearly what you&#8217;re asking for. Then comes the part people tend to forget when they talk about couple communication\u2014stop explaining and listen to the response.<\/p><h2>Couple communication also happens without words<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can say <em>&#8220;Everything&#8217;s fine&#8221;<\/em> when your face is saying something completely different, say <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m listening&#8221;<\/em> while your eyes are on the phone, or answer <em>&#8220;Fine&#8221;<\/em> in a tone that makes it very clear that nothing is fine. Partners read each other all the time. They read faces, tone, distance, eye contact, silence, touch and body movement.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The difficulty begins when we move without noticing from what we saw to what we&#8217;re certain we know. Silence can feel like disconnection, a sideways glance can be interpreted as lack of interest, and physical distancing can trigger a feeling that your partner no longer wants to be in the conversation. The feeling that arose in you is real. It&#8217;s still not proof of what&#8217;s happening inside him.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">So there&#8217;s a difference between saying <em>&#8220;You&#8217;re shutting down again&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;When you&#8217;re silent and looking away I feel like you&#8217;re distancing from me. What&#8217;s happening for you right now?&#8221;<\/em> In the first sentence you&#8217;ve already determined what&#8217;s happening with your partner. In the second sentence you brought what you saw and what arose in you, and left room to discover his experience.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This distinction requires responsibility. It&#8217;s very easy to turn a feeling into knowledge: <em>&#8220;I feel unloved&#8221;<\/em> becomes <em>&#8220;You don&#8217;t love me,&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;I feel unimportant right now&#8221;<\/em> becomes <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m not important to you.&#8221;<\/em> The more the distinction between the two is preserved, the more you can give full validity to what you&#8217;re feeling without determining for your partner what he&#8217;s feeling, thinking or intending.<\/p><h2>Listening without turning everything said about you into a sentence about your worth<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Your partner says to you: <em>&#8220;I feel like I&#8217;m alone with everything related to the house.&#8221;<\/em> Even before he finished the sentence, dozens of responses can rise in you: <em>&#8220;That&#8217;s not true at all,&#8221; &#8220;I also do tons,&#8221; &#8220;Just yesterday I took care of that,&#8221; &#8220;Why don&#8217;t you ever see what I do do?&#8221;<\/em> From your perspective these are factual claims, but beneath them another conversation entirely can be running: if he feels alone, what does that say about you?<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is where the communication between you meets the concept of worthiness. When your worth as a partner is undermined every time your partner is disappointed in you, his disappointment can sound like an indictment. It&#8217;s hard to honestly examine what he&#8217;s saying when even before you&#8217;ve checked your part, you&#8217;re already busy defending yourself against the possibility that you&#8217;re a &#8220;not good&#8221; partner.<\/p> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Worthiness allows a more stable position. You can hear that he&#8217;s disappointed in you without inferring from it who you are. You can discover that he&#8217;s right about some things, take responsibility for something you did and even acknowledge that you hurt him, without the mistake becoming a definition of your worth as a person.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I want to clarify an important point here: worthiness is not an exemption from responsibility. A person can behave hurtfully and still be a worthy person, and his worthiness doesn&#8217;t make the behavior worthy. It&#8217;s precisely when you don&#8217;t need to prove to yourself and your partner that you&#8217;re always okay that you&#8217;re freer to also see the places where you&#8217;re not okay and take responsibility for them.<\/p><h2>Vulnerability begins where you stop talking only about the other<\/h2> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">We talk a lot about emotional sharing in relationships, but even using the names of emotions can leave the person in front of you very far from you. You can say <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m angry&#8221;<\/em> and continue for twenty minutes explaining what your partner is doing wrong. The anger is real and deserves its own space, and alongside it there can also be hurt, fear, loneliness, longing or yearning that haven&#8217;t yet received words.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There&#8217;s a difference in experience between <em>&#8220;You never see me&#8221;<\/em> and <em>&#8220;I want you to see me.&#8221;<\/em> In the first sentence you&#8217;re mainly talking about what&#8217;s missing for you in the person in front of you. In the second sentence you&#8217;re exposing something you want from him, and the moment you&#8217;ve exposed a desire you&#8217;ve also opened the possibility that he won&#8217;t be able or won&#8217;t want to respond to it as you hoped.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">That&#8217;s where the vulnerability is. You say <em>&#8220;I miss you,&#8221; &#8220;I was hurt,&#8221; &#8220;I&#8217;m afraid I&#8217;m no longer important to you,&#8221; &#8220;I need you,&#8221;<\/em> and you let the person in front of you meet something real in you. You don&#8217;t have full control over what he&#8217;ll do with what he met.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This is one of the reasons criticism can feel safer than vulnerability. In criticism you hold a position about the other. In vulnerability you bring something of your own and risk an answer you didn&#8217;t want to receive.<\/p><h2>Why couple fights turn into a struggle over the relationship<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Who was supposed to pick up the child from the activity, why didn&#8217;t you let me know you&#8217;d be late, how much money you spent this month, whose place you&#8217;ll be at for the holiday or why the phone was in your hand while one of you was talking. These are real issues that need to be talked about. Within minutes they can take on additional meaning: <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m not important to you,&#8221; &#8220;You don&#8217;t trust me,&#8221; &#8220;All the responsibility is on me again,&#8221; &#8220;Nothing I do is enough for you.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Now each of you is reacting both to the event and to the meaning you&#8217;re attributing to it. From here the path to <a href=\"https:\/\/sivanavni.com\/en\/how-to-neutralize-the-four-horsemen-of-the-apocalypse-in-your-relationship-and-improve-communication-and-intimacy\/\">criticism, defensiveness, contempt or withdrawal<\/a> can be short. And once the pattern has taken over the conversation, one more good argument usually just gives it more fuel.<\/p> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can stop and say: <em>&#8220;We&#8217;ve left the conversation we wanted to have. I want to try again.&#8221;<\/em> You can also recognize your part in real time: <em>&#8220;I hear that I&#8217;m already attacking you. I want to say this differently.&#8221;<\/em> A repair like this doesn&#8217;t erase the conflict. It returns to each of you responsibility for the way you&#8217;re participating in it.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And here it&#8217;s worth being careful of another trap. Once you&#8217;ve learned to recognize couple patterns, it&#8217;s very easy to also turn them into a weapon against your partner: <em>&#8220;You&#8217;re being defensive,&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;re shutting down,&#8221; &#8220;You&#8217;re being contemptuous.&#8221;<\/em> Your responsibility isn&#8217;t to take on your partner&#8217;s behavior or the reasons for it. It&#8217;s to check what you&#8217;re doing in response to what&#8217;s happening now, and what response you want to choose.<\/p><h2>When the body is no longer available for the conversation<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Many couples try to resolve the conflict precisely when their ability to manage it is disappearing. The heart is pounding, the body is tense, the voice rises, thinking narrows and every sentence sounds more threatening. One continues talking because he feels they must reach a solution now, and the other shuts down or tries to leave the conversation.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">In a state of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gottman.com\/blog\/flooding-and-conflict-avoidance\/\">flooding<\/a>, a break can allow the system to calm down and the conversation to continue later. You can say: <em>&#8220;I&#8217;m flooded right now and can&#8217;t listen to you the way I want to. I need half an hour, and at eight-thirty we&#8217;ll come back to talk.&#8221;<\/em> The defined time is important because it distinguishes between a break meant for regulation and a distancing that leaves your partner without knowing when or if the conversation will resume.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I suggest also checking what you&#8217;re doing during the break. If for half an hour you continue conducting the fight in your head, building your defense and preparing the argument that will win the conversation, the body remains in that same struggle. A break is useful when it allows the arousal to come down and restores the ability to be again in the presence of another person.<\/p> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">When every meaningful conversation stops at the same place and doesn&#8217;t resume, it&#8217;s worth checking whether alongside the flooding a pattern of avoidance of the topic has also formed. There&#8217;s no need to assume this is intentional evasion. It&#8217;s still important to see the effect this pattern has on the relationship: one partner manages to exit the conversation, and the issue troubling the other is again left without response. The person who asks to stop the conversation also bears responsibility for returning to it.<\/p><h2>It&#8217;s possible your partner understood you perfectly<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">One of the most stubborn assumptions in couple conversations is that if your partner really understands, he&#8217;ll reach your conclusion. So we explain again, bring another example, refine the phrasing and return to previous events. After an hour we say in frustration: <em>&#8220;You just don&#8217;t understand me.&#8221;<\/em><\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">It&#8217;s possible he actually understood very well. He understands how important it is for you to spend the holiday with your family and still doesn&#8217;t want to go. She understands how much you need time alone and still thinks your relationship gets too little time. You&#8217;ve both heard each other, and the gap remains.<\/p> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">This moment is difficult because you can no longer solve it through more successful phrasing. As long as the problem is &#8220;communication,&#8221; you can believe that one more conversation will eventually bring you to the same place. When it turns out the person in front of you understands you and wants something else, you&#8217;re required to meet his separateness.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\"><a href=\"https:\/\/sivanavni.com\/en\/how-to-maintain-yourself-in-a-relationship-and-deepen-the-connection-the-complete-guide-to-differentiation-in-relationships\/\">Differentiation in relationships<\/a> takes on very practical meaning here. You can be affected by your partner without being absorbed into his position, and hold your desire without demanding he adopt it so you can hold it. You can understand a person very well and remain in disagreement with him. The question now is no longer only whether you understood each other, but whether you&#8217;re able to stay in contact even when the understanding doesn&#8217;t make the difference disappear.<\/p><h2>&#8220;Communication problem&#8221; can become a way not to meet the answer<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">There are couples who conduct the same conversation for years. They change the words, the tone and the timing, go to therapy, learn tools and return again to the same topic. As long as they define the problem as communication, the hope remains that the right phrasing will finally bring a different answer.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">And here I want to be firm. Your partner doesn&#8217;t have to agree with you to prove he understood you. He doesn&#8217;t have to change to prove he cares about you. By the same token, you don&#8217;t have to accept every choice of his in the name of understanding, containment or love.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can ask, influence, insist on a conversation, be angry and make clear how important the thing is to you. You can also set a boundary against something you&#8217;re not willing to live with. When an answer repeats and remains consistent over time, it&#8217;s worth treating it as information about the position of the person in front of you and about what he wants or is willing to give right now within the relationship.<\/p> <p>There&#8217;s a point where continued explanation stops serving understanding and starts postponing the encounter with reality. You said what matters to you, listened to the response, tried again and the answer remained the same answer. The next question is no longer how to make your partner understand. The question is what you do with what you&#8217;ve already understood.<\/p><h2>Good couple communication doesn&#8217;t guarantee a solution<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can have a deep, honest and respectful conversation and discover at its end a gap you currently have no way to solve. One wants another child and the other doesn&#8217;t. One wants to move abroad and the other wants to stay. One asks for a certain kind of closeness and the other doesn&#8217;t want or isn&#8217;t able to give it.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">The conversation can actually succeed and expose a real gap you hadn&#8217;t managed to see before. Now you know better what each of you wants, what matters to him and what lies between you. This knowledge can be very painful, and it also allows you to stop struggling with a problem that may no longer be a phrasing problem.<\/p> <p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Here too worthiness and differentiation matter. You can <a href=\"https:\/\/sivanavni.com\/%d7%a6%d7%99%d7%a4%d7%99%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%91%d7%96%d7%95%d7%92%d7%99%d7%95%d7%aa-%d7%9c%d7%9c%d7%90-%d7%a2%d7%95%d7%a8%d7%a3-%d7%9e%d7%a9%d7%a4%d7%97%d7%aa%d7%99\/\">be disappointed in your partner<\/a> without turning him into a bad person, and acknowledge that his choice belongs to him without inferring that you must live with it. He&#8217;s responsible for his choices. You&#8217;re responsible for what you&#8217;ll do in response to them.<\/p><p>There are gaps you can bear, gaps you can negotiate around, and gaps that require partners to ask harder questions about their shared life. Communication doesn&#8217;t guarantee a compromise will be found in each of them. It allows you to see more clearly what you&#8217;re dealing with.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-e58a0c0 e-con-full e-flex elementor-invisible e-con e-child\" data-id=\"e58a0c0\" data-element_type=\"container\" data-e-type=\"container\" data-settings=\"{&quot;animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-1f8b56d elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"1f8b56d\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Couple exercise: What was I really trying to achieve in the conversation?<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Choose a conversation that repeats between you and that you already know almost by heart. Each of you write for yourself what you wanted your partner to understand about you, and what you actually heard from the person in front of you. Try to separate between the words that were said and the meaning you gave them.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Then check what happened to you in response to the answer. Did you defend, attack, distance, explain again, try to make your partner feel guilty or give up on yourself to end the tension? Also notice the body: what happened to your breathing, jaw, stomach or the urge to get up and leave when you understood the conversation wasn&#8217;t going where you hoped.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Now ask yourself one question: <strong>Did I want my partner to understand me, or did I need him to agree with me?<\/strong><\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">Don&#8217;t rush to answer. It&#8217;s possible that in some conversations you&#8217;re asking for understanding, in others you&#8217;re asking for change, and in some you already know your partner&#8217;s answer and are struggling to bear it. These are different situations, and it&#8217;s worth knowing which one you&#8217;re in before you open that same conversation again.<\/p><p>Then share with each other. The person listening can start with the sentence: <em>&#8220;Now I understand that&#8217;s what you heard from me.&#8221;<\/em> Before you correct your partner&#8217;s interpretation, try to understand how your words reached him. Then you can tell what you meant to say and what you heard back.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-5b38d44 elementor-invisible elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"5b38d44\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-settings=\"{&quot;_animation&quot;:&quot;fadeInUp&quot;}\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<h2>Understanding you and remaining myself<\/h2><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">You can learn to speak more clearly, listen better, recognize interpretation before turning it into fact and stop a conversation when the body is no longer able to bear it. All of these matter. The deeper challenge is revealed when you&#8217;ve done all of these and the person in front of you still remains another person.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">He sees the event differently, wants something else, is disappointed in you, refuses your request or asks of you something you don&#8217;t want to give. Relationships don&#8217;t cancel out this separateness. They bring it home.<\/p><p class=\"isSelectedEnd\">I think that&#8217;s where the ability to be in relationship is tested: to say who you are without turning things into a weapon, to hear who the person in front of you is without erasing yourself, and to acknowledge that love doesn&#8217;t guarantee two people will always want the same thing. You can be very close and still remain two people, with two experiences, two desires and two answers that won&#8217;t always meet.<\/p><p>It&#8217;s possible the conversation has already succeeded. Your partner heard you, and you heard him.
