Articulate your needs in your relationship

Live Mint  

I remember working with a male client, in his 40s who said during a therapy session, “There are times I can gauge that there is something that has impacted my partner or that they are not feeling good, but I don’t know what has led to it. At those times, I don’t know what to say, so I become quiet and this leads to more arguments as my partner feels I’m not supportive. Mind-reading in an intimate interpersonal relationship is about believing that your partner should be able to gauge what you are thinking, feeling and should sometimes even know how you want to be supported or loved. While being generous, empathetic and perceptive are important to a relationship, it is unrealistic to believe that our partners can read our minds and know every little thing that annoys us.
