I also started doing this more -- including with my wife.
It has definitely helped my mood and mental health overall to talk about the things that are on my mind, even if the conversations don't always end up going in my favor per se.
This probably seems super obvious to a lot of people, but it does not come naturally to me, and I suspect an equally large number of people have trouble with it too.
- aantix 8y agoIf you're just learning to be open, you'd probably enjoy the book, Conscious Loving. There's a whole section dedicated to telling the "microscopic truth" in your relationships. https://www.amazon.com/Conscious-Loving-Co-Committment-Gay-Hendricks-ebook/dp/B002SXIF40 https://www.amazon.com/Conscious-Loving-Co-Committment-Gay-H... Painful to do in the beginning, but as people get use to your new truth telling ways, they learn to appreciate the honesty.
