Thank you Anita. I agree with your responses to my situation.

Through this process I have learned that communication is key no matter how uncomfortable I may feel talking about the topic at hand I need to do the following: 1. Address how I am feeling respectfully to my partner and 2.  “it is often the case that arguments and fighting at times (that is disrespect and aggression in some form) is an ordinary and normal part of relationships, but it is not a desirable or necessary part of a relationship.” (Anita)

Thank you for helping me see it that way that it is never desirable/necessary to fight or argue and that there are other ways to handle uncomfortable or difficult situations that may arise within the relationship.

Thank you,
Moani
