The "open communication" that we long for can often be a double-edged sword. As we strive to get our partners to tell us their thoughts, we often times hear things that we don't really want to hear.
I think that's as much a cultural thing as it is communication. As a society we often prefer to live by the white lie (alternate reality). In the end alternate reality communication causes nothing but friction. We need to learn reality communication. That's a cultural shift. ....Soup
