This should be a period when you and your partner are relaxed and calm. This is the perfect time when both of you will be able to listen to each other. If you are not sure how to go about it, send your partner an SMS about your intention to talk about the issue.

Talk, and then listen

When you start talking, be ready to listen as well after you have aired your view or perspective about the problem. Talk about yourself, and not your partner. This will prevent your partner from feeling blamed or attacked which may lead to your partner becoming angry and defensive in return. Then give your partner a listening ear so that both of you can agree.

Discuss solutions
