How to manage relationship stress.

 

You spend quality time with your partner but you still feel feel lonely and not only that? What else? 

You've so much on your mind still you don't know or can't create the atmosphere to share with your partner and lighten the burden? Why? 

Because your partner seems to be adding to it with their demands, impatience and refusal to understand. You are stretched, almost bursting at the seams and the stress in your relationship, is squeezing the life out of you.

Now, you're thinking that if you could manage the stress in your relationship very well, then you just might be able to achieve a satisfactory level of stability in your life.

You may be right. Here are two basic ways to manage relationship stress.

1. Do this when your partner presses your anger button 

It's inescapable that your partner would sometimes do something in words and actions, not on purpose, to get you angry.

If you react naturally by being confrontational, like most of us would, you're going to be stressed out the more. It could lead to a fight that may not end soon.

The opposite reaction to the call-to-anger; being calm  should stop the approaching storm from escalating and adding to your feeling of stress. 

Sometimes you need to overlook and give others the feeling that they've won in order to have tour space to enjoy peace of mind.

2. Sometimes, choose to talk things over.

Whether it's about your own challenges in the office and at home, sharing your feelings and thoughts with your partner could relieve stress.

A word of caution, to have any meaningful discussion when you're stressed, create a conducive atmosphere for everyone first. 

Listen more and, seek to always see and understand your partner's perspective before you share your thoughts. 

Your thoughts should create out of everyone's divergent perspectives, a common ground.
