Relationship tip. It is natural to get irritated by our partners & family members at times (hourly?!) but how we deal with that irritation makes a big difference. Try to avoid criticising your partner eg ‘Why do you have to be so lazy and leave dirty dishes in the sink?’. Instead it is less inflammatory to complain about the behaviour not your partner’s personality & start with how you feel eg ‘I find it frustrating when you leave dirty dishes’. Better yet instead of complaining make a request eg ‘Please will you wash up, I’d feel a lot less grouchy and then we can watch the film’. Which do you think will be most likely to get you clean plates? ????
