Ok, so I need you to really listen to me here. If you have something important and/or hard that you need to talk to your partner about, you absolutely need to invite them to a conversation instead of just starting up a that conversation. If we side swipe, we usually elicit a defensive response and we end up in a process oriented fight (we fight over how we fight), and that, is a GIANT waste of time! When we invite our partner to a conversation where we let them know what it is we are hoping to talk about, we allow them to prepare for that conversation which then enables everyone to show up as their best selfs, with the goal being to better understand one another vs winning.
The Invitation to a Conversation episode is part 1 of my conflict series.
