Making assumptions
Experts recognize that it’s too easy to believe that our partners are always on the same page as we are. After all, you know your darling so well, right? If you finish each other’s sentences, you can probably accurately guess what they’re always thinking, can’t you?
Well, as it turns out, that’s not always the case. It’s less common that we ask them about what they do and why they do what they do.
A common subtle relationship issue is that we presume the reasons why, which isn’t always the case. This can lead to some extreme communication problems, which turn into quarrels.
