SHOWING COMPASSION
When your partner is undergoing stress, he or she may become aloof or agitated and may withdraw emotionally or even physically. This can leave you feeling lonely and vulnerable. But rather than giving into these emotions and adding to the negative tension within the relationship, take a step back and show some compassion — not just for your partner, but for yourself.
By tending to your own needs during these times, you will be stronger, more secure and better equipped to be the anchor that your partner (and your relationship) needs.
OPEN THE LINES OF COMMUNICATION
Many people have the tendency to draw inwards when they are feeling anxious or upset. According to Sheryl Paul, M.A., “They may have learned early in life that their needs won’t get met, so they eventually learn to stop asking for what they need. This is where being in an intimate relationship can be profoundly powerful for healing old wounds.”
Paul encourages that if you see that your partner has retreated, to make the effort to approach him and say something like, “You seem like you’re having a hard time. How can I help you right now?” This will open the lines of communication and let your partner know that he or she can depend on you for support.
During times of stress, our partners want to feel supported without inciting emotion from our side. This can be especially difficult if you have added to their stress and listening without judgment or immediate reaction will require a tremendous amount of patience, kindness and compassion.
