Do you resent your mate?

Do you resent your mate?

By Miss Kes 

Sometimes, when there is a communication breakdown in a relationship, one party may retreat into their shell and begin to silently resent the other for whatever wrong they perceive the other party has committed. This can be dangerous, and if not quickly addressed, can lead to major relationship issues.SpaceForgivenessReach out when the time is rightSpeak with respect

Note the following as you contemplate whether you have, or are likely to fall into this trap.

It is always wise to give someone the time to really filter thoroughly through an issue. If you crowd someone when they are trying to find a solution to a problem, you will only cause more injury to the situation. If your man is the type to internalize issues, it is wise not to strike up a conversation about the issues. It is best to give that man space and time to come to you.

Whatever is causing the problem, it is best to work though it and quickly forgive and move on. Holding on to issues will only create more issues.

Even if you are the victim, for the sake of preserving your love and relationship, reach out to get your partner’s attention in a positive way.

Some women tend to get disrespectful after a fight and that can send your partner further away from you. Not because there is a fight, means you have the right to be nasty with your words.
