How can I better understand my partner's emotions?

It's great that you want to understand your partner better! Can you share specific situations where you feel confused about their emotions?

Sometimes they seem upset, but they don't want to talk about it.

That can be tough. It might help to create a safe space for them to express their feelings. Have you tried asking open-ended questions?

Not really, what kind of questions should I ask?

You could ask things like, 'What’s been on your mind lately?' or 'How do you feel about what happened today?' This encourages sharing.

Thanks! I’ll try that. Any tips on how to respond?

Absolutely! Listen actively, validate their feelings, and avoid jumping to solutions unless they ask for advice. It shows you care.
