Instinctively, we all want to be part of a relationship. You might be surprised to learn that, in fact, the desire to feel connected is very deeply ingrained. Many people will only experience that desire to feel connected to someone else during times of need—when you want to be understood.
When their partner cannot make timely connections to ease anxiety, it is quite common for people to feel let down and frustrated.
When people do try to connect it is important that each partner can demonstrate they understand the other person's feelings. Do bear in mind you don't have have to agree with your partner's viewpoint, but you do need to recognise their circumstances and how those circumstances have affected their opinions and viewpoints.
Always Remember Personal Perspective
It is inevitable that everyone has their own view of the world. We all experience things slightly differently. If two people went to a soccer match and reported on the game, although they both attended the same game, one person might be viewing from the touchlines and another from way up high in an executive box. Does this situation make either of the reports more correct? Of course not. It's just a slightly different perspective. There is no deceit, deception or dishonesty involved.
Couples can benefit from looking at this scenario and then reviewing how differences in perspective can happen in their own relationship.
