Communicating our emotions with our partner is a practice that many of us struggle with daily. There are so many reasons why we might hesitate to express our feelings: fear of being abandoned, judged, or misunderstood, to name a few. If we grew up with parents or caregivers who were emotionally volatile or unavailable, we probably felt safer keeping our emotions to ourselves and pretending everything was okay.
