How can I better understand my partner's needs?

It's great that you want to understand your partner better! Can you share what specific areas you're concerned about?

I feel like we don't communicate as well as we should.

Communication is key! Have you tried asking your partner directly about their feelings and needs?

Not really, I'm afraid it might lead to conflict.

It's understandable to feel that way. You could approach the conversation gently, expressing your desire to improve your relationship.

That sounds like a good idea. How should I start the conversation?

You might start with something like, 'I've been thinking about how we communicate, and I want to make sure we're both feeling heard.'
