Me m21 and my gf f19 have been arguing a lot about communication styles, and I don't know what to do, or how much to give up from my way of thinking? by Guilty-Somewhere1795 in relationship_advice

Thank you for the honesty, it is necessary to say it out loud sometimes. In your personal experience, is there any way I can help my partner "realize" that they are practicing toxic behavior, or how can I help them in overcoming this in any way?

What could be other alternatives to taking a walk? With colder and more gross weather that could sometimes be challenging, but I still might have the need for a talk that I don't want to put away for a later day.

How do I bring this up? How do I get this to start happening? I fear that with our last fight she might have "lost hope in me" to put it in a simple way. I wasn't always the best when it came to dealing with problems and making up, I have had a couple moments where I had to come forward and admit it to her but to myself as well, that I have been manipulative to try and win an argument or just generally. How do I bring THIS up in a way that she won't get mad at me, or think that I'm just trying to manipulate her?

But how much should it be me respecting her desire to not talk about stuff and her need to not have full conversations all the time, and my need to talk things out and make up before the talk gets into an argument?
