How to communicate with a partner if we have different points of view?
id: 10052246

Listen to each other carefully. If you have different points of view, then this may mean that each of you sees the situation differently. It is important to understand that views and opinions can be different, but it is still necessary to respect the partner's point of view. To do this, you need to learn to listen to each other carefully, ask clarifying questions and show that you really understand the partner’s position.

Use "I-messages". When we talk about our feelings and experiences, this helps the partner to better understand our views and motives. Use "I-messages" to express your thoughts and feelings about the situation. For example, "I feel offended when you do this."

Don't use accusations. When we feel strong emotions, sometimes we can turn to accusations against a partner. But this is not an effective way of communicating, and can only aggravate the situation. Instead, try to focus on the situation itself and not on the partner's personality.

Look for compromises. In romantic relationships, it is important to find compromises when partners have different points of view. Try to find common ground on which you can come to an agreement. It may not be easy, but if you work together to find a solution, you can create a more harmonious relationship.

Respect your partner's boundaries.
