Relationships- conversations about feelings

How open do you think you are with your partner about your feelings?

Is there anything you do to make sure that your and your partners needs are being met?

Do you share a lot or keep some things to yourself?

Im just wondering what is normal or standard and what people with healthy relationships do.

I feel I am at, have been close to breaking point for a while. Don’t feel my needs have been met at all. DH is happy so long as he’s having sex. If that’s happening then we can have a harmonious household if it isn’t then his stress levels rise, he’s snappy and the house is a shit show. I expressed yesterday how I don’t feel my needs are met, by anyone. They haven’t ever been really which probably explains a lot of why I am how I am (parents had with LD and social needs which impacted their ability to meet my emotional needs as a child and now). That felt like a good step in being open and trying to address the issue. However I didn’t share everything and I am wondering if I should just go all
barrels with how I feel. But it won’t be pretty and I think will just lead to a massive argument.

What is stopping you being honest?

It would be very shocking and blunt if I said things how I felt. I imagine an argument coming from it rather than anything productive.
