Summary
The thing is, it's not respectful to just bring up a topic whenever YOU want to talk about it. Why? Because it's not respecting and honoring your partner's boundaries or taking into account if they're really and open and prepared for it.
And this applies to moments when you want to: ask them to do something, express feelings you have about a certain issue, give them feedback, etc.
Implementing "Permission-Based Communication" will help you two have more constructive conversations, so you'll love this episode!
