JAKARTA – Couples need healthy communication in order to understand each other. Instead of growing suspicious, it's better to communicate in a healthy way, isn't it.

Two people who are committed to a romantic relationship, are often hampered by their respective assumptions. Assumptions actually make things worse. Not only a messy mood, but your attitude will also become cold when assuming negative things about your partner. Here, a problem that can only be solved by communication.

1. Your partner pays attention to other people more than he cares about you

If other people are in a more important position than you, then ask your partner. Ask about the reasons for paying more attention to the other person than the partner. With communication, you can better understand your partner's reasons. So by understanding, you don't spend a lot of energy on weaving possible reasons that are actually assumptions.

2. Acting childish

Sometimes someone acts childish because they need more attention. For example, you and your partner have just had a baby. Some men, reported by All Women's Talk, will behave childishly to seek your attention.

So, try to communicate and talk with your partner. Let your partner know that you also wish you had more time together. Then make a deal to enjoy the time while your baby doesn't distract you.

3. Lying

There are many reasons why someone lies to their partner. For the most part, the partner must understand or be responsible for the lies that the partner commits. Lies can also create rifts in relationships, such as not caring about each other and no longer respecting each other.

To clarify the situation, you and your partner need to talk one-on-one. You have to identify the reason for lying from your partner. It is important to do, don't demand the truth because the more you dig for the truth, the more likely it is that you will lie. This means respecting your partner's reasons but asking him to do the opposite.

4. Intimacy problems

This problem can only be solved by communicating. Both intimacy during sex and intimacy outside the room. You and your partner need to know how and what can be done to find a solution.

5. Feeling uncomfortable

Lack of communication often makes each partner a bad listener. You and your partner don't understand each other so you feel uncomfortable and even judge your partner's attitude to be annoying. If you experience it, try to spend time together without being disturbed by anything, including work or other activities. Communicate and be a good listener, share how you feel with your partner.
