Newbie: going to try Ghandi method

[TimeHeals]

I hate it when my emotions get the better of me

Under better circumstances, good communication skills are difficult (for me anyway) in an intimate, long-term relationship. We all fall prey to the idea that our spouses should know how we feel, and we believe we know how they feel, and so we forget the importance if just listening and validating, and it is that communication that holds relationships together once the romance chemicals stop working on our brains.

It's OK to feel what you are feeling, but in perilous times ... you have to understand your spouse isn't connected or open to hearing about it, and it's eassy to shutdown yourself.
