How can I resolve conflicts with my partner?

It's important to approach conflicts with empathy. Can you share what the conflict is about?

We often argue about household chores and responsibilities.

That’s common! Have you both discussed your expectations and how to divide the chores fairly?

Not really, we just assume the other person knows what to do.

It might help to have a calm conversation where you both express your needs and come up with a chore schedule together.

That sounds like a good idea. How do I start that conversation?

Start by choosing a good time to talk, then express your feelings using 'I' statements, like 'I feel overwhelmed with chores.'
