RE: Hard Conversations Aren’t Attacks

in Palnet3 months ago

Most people fail to realize that the small discomfort in a conversation is not aggression, not disrespect neither is it an attack. It’s simply the truth stretching its legs.

For all I love my husband, he can be a little shit when it comes to hard conversations. I call it discussion, but he seems to think it's about asserting his view. I totally get annoyed and upset - it's not an attack, I'll say, I just want to discuss! He always apologises. I don't know why we can't have healthy discussions that aren't polarised - not him per se, just social media at large. People seem to want to prove something or to win. Ugh.

Sort:  

I feel this so much. It’s really exhausting when a conversation turns into a debate you didn’t sign up for. Wanting to understand isn’t the same as wanting to win, but somehow that gets lost.
