In the heat of an argument, it’s far easier to say what we don’t want than what we do.

For example: “I hate that as soon as you get home after work you turn on the TV. You’re so lazy.”
This is not an effective way to start a conflict discussion.
For conflict conversations to succeed, it is much more effective to state your feelings as neutrally as possible and transform your complaint about your partner into a positive need.
Try this instead: “I miss you when you’re away at work during the day. When you come home and turn on the TV right away, it makes me feel lonely and distant from you. Instead, before you turn on the TV, can we take some time to talk about our days together?”
By expressing your desire in a direct, gentle, and neutral way, it is much more likely that your wish will come true.
Action of the week: : Try re framing a complaint you have about your partner into a positive need.
