I know that there might be deep rooted issues with family arguments etc but I just think communication is key. For context I have no contact with my family of origin because I insisted in taking things out but I would so much rather deal with the big things face to face.
This was many years ago.
I do try to pick my arguments and assess if something is worth it. I’m staggered at the amount of people who leave relationships out of fear of confrontation (which doesn’t have to be aggressive).
For context again, I’ve been very happily married for 25 years and a wonderful relationship with our children and we try to be as open as is necessary.
I’ve seen people completely cut off friends/family members for the most benign of reason because they daren’t confront them.
such a shame
