@relationshipswithaly: Set expectations for how you hope the conversation will go. This can feel like extra work, but really it allows your partner to listen with purpose and pull out the most important parts of what you are sharing. If they know what you are hoping for, they are better able to support you that way. Disclaimer: IG is not therapy. This content is for educational and entertainment purposes only.
