Difficult conversations are difficult for a reason – but even more when you're hyper-communicative and your partner is well...not. We're discussing how to having challenging conversations especially when it comes to the momentum of your relationship when one person may be more avoidant and slower paced than the other. We're discussing it all from how to broach these convos without smothering the other person, ways you can advocate for yourself while still listening to your partners perspective, and why it's pivotal that you both get more vulnerable and out of this anxious-avoidant trap.
