While we might absolutely love our partner, sometimes knowing that we have to have a hard conversation makes us feel really negative. Maybe you lie awake working out exactly what you will say to your partner, and about a minute into the actual conversation, it has gone sideways. Maybe it was about the kids, or a furtive glance at a stranger. Maybe it was about money. Maybe it was about whose turn it is to empty the dishwasher, again. Experience has shown me that putting the talk off does not help much either.
