Use These Phrases To Communicate Your Needs In A Relationship
If you can’t find the words, here they are.
How comfortable are you expressing your needs in a relationship? Whether you’ve been together for a week, a month, or have just gotten married…communication is the very lifeblood of the bond between you and the person you love.
For some, communication is more challenging than others — particularly when it comes to expressing our own personal needs.
We know what we want, but we might not feel worthy of it. Or we may feel too demanding. Or we worry that our partner won’t be willing or able to fulfill our needs, and the relationship will crumble.
Or, maybe, we just simply don’t know what to say.
Below, we’ll go through some ways to phrase your needs to your partner and the reasons why they’re so powerful.
Remember — you deserve happiness too.
Disclaimer:
If you find yourself consistently expressing your needs to your partner, and they do nothing to meet them time and time again, it doesn’t mean that your needs are invalid…it means that the person you’re with doesn’t deserve your emotional investment.
