How Jessica Learnt to Communicate & Open Up to her Partner

Jessica is an incredible woman, she has it all together, except one thing.

 

The notion of divulging to her partner what she actually thought, terrified her.

 

Her voice would echo inside her mind of what she should say but still, she kept her silence.

She did not want to tell her partner that they weren’t spending enough time together, that he spoke about his ex too much and this created issues.

Jessica made a decision to make some changes.

She started to connect with her actual wants and needs for her relationship.

After getting to a place where she was ready and confident to say what she thought (with love) she had these tough conversations and to her surprise nothing detrimental happened.

He didn't run away.

And they didn't break up.

Not everything Jessica put forth happened but what did happen was three things:

 

1. She felt relieved and happy that she had let her partner know what she had actually been thinking all this time.

 

2. They had practical real conversations about how they could change some things in their relationship such as communication and spending more time together.

3. There has been progress! Small changes have happened just from the conversation.

Is it 100% where Jessica wants it?

 

No, not 100% but she is much closer to the relationship she wants and there has been steady improvement each week.
