Most people who are in a relationship want it to be happy and loving for both.
When couples have been in a relationship for many years, they can easily make the mistake of assuming that they know everything about their partner from their taste in food right through to their political views.
However this is not always the case, because people grow and change as time passes.
Sometimes in a relationship, the couple can grow apart because they simply feel that they do not know or understand their partner anymore.
People need to be aware of what is happening in their relationship and understand who their partner is and what changes they may be going through.
Understanding your partner does not necessarily mean knowing every single movement they make or conversation they may have during their day.
Being able to understand your partner is paramount in any relationship and made easier with good communication.
Of course it needs to be said that a lack of communication in a relationship can lead to a lack of understanding which usually ends up in arguments.
In situations where couples argue when trying to discuss something that is becoming an issue in their relationship, one or both parties will feel they are not being heard or understood.
Often an argument can end with someone getting the silent treatment, and of course this is not good for a healthy relationship.
Seeking Help With Crispian Jones And Relationship Counselling Cairns
Sometimes there may be issues in a relationship where a person feels they cannot mention these issues to their partner without causing an upset or argument.
It may be a breach of trust in a relationship that has left a person feeling vulnerable and suspicious in needing answers from their partner to particular questions that may bring up the event again.
Of course the person who broke the trust of their partner will want to avoid any discussion and move forward, not realising that their partner is still trying to process the betrayal.
In situations where there are issues in your relationship that are difficult or painful to talk to each other about, consider seeing a psychologist for some couples relationship counselling.
