Did couples therapy help you?
My partner and I fight a lot. We are compatible overall, but our conflict styles are so different. He is very logical, and I am emotional. I’ve been working on trying to be more logical but as you know, it’s hard. I don’t feel emotionally safe to share my feelings with him unless they are positive feelings. He doesn’t see anything wrong with the way he treats me, nor does get curious and ask about how I feel etc. Other than this, he is everything I want in a partner and I just wish we could figure how to have conflict in a healthy way. I try to move toward connection when we argue and he is with his foot out the door.
I’ve been asking him to do couples therapy for a while now and he’s finally agreed to do it. I’m just hoping it helps.
Just looking for any positive experiences with that. Thank you!
Edit: we have been together for about a year and a half now.
