Taking a Break to Prevent Feeling Flooded in a Relationship
When feeling overwhelmed in a conversation, it is crucial to communicate the need for a break and specify when you will return to continue. This prevents your partner from feeling abandoned. Take a break for around 30 minutes to 24 hours and avoid dwelling on the argument during this time. Engage in self-soothing activities like reading, working out, or doing work but avoid watching murder mysteries. Return at the agreed-upon time when you feel calmer to continue the discussion. Overall, women tend to be more dissatisfied in marriages than men, as men often perceive everything to be fine without addressing issues.
