In any healthy relationship, partners should be able to tell one another everything. That's easier said than done, as certain topics can require much more tact. And it can be particularly difficult if you need to tell them something you know they won't want to hear or need them to make a change. Despite the challenge, such discussions are often necessary to fight off resentment and spur growth. So this begs the question: What, exactly, is the best way to do it? How do you ask someone to change? What do you say? How much time do you need to give them to make said change? What goal markers should be placed along the way? This is what to know. |
