Hey my name is Carl, I’m 28, I realized that my problem in my relationship is how I communicate. I love my girlfriend so much but I’m having a hard time explaining things to her in a way she can clearly understand. Sometimes I bottle stuff up, other times I say too much at the wrong time and it just ends up causing misunderstandings. I want to be able to talk about my emotions in a way that she can understand me. I also wanna understand her better and make sure we’re on the same page but it feels like every talk about feelings can get awkward or tense. I know communication’s super important but I don’t know how to start a proper conversation without making the situation worse. How do you even get better at expressing your feelings honestly and clearly while still keeping the connection strong?
Thanks for any advice.
