How important is it to listen to your partner’s needs?

What happens if their needs continually go unheard?

Everyone likes to feel heard.

It says they are important to their partner; that they matter.

Below are suggestions of why your partner may be pulling away from you.

Your partner continually has asked you to stop doing something E.g. maybe you keep cutting them off when they’re trying to tell you how they feel.

Your partner has been asking to go on a date night with you for months but you’ve been fobbing them off to go out with friends or choosing to work back late unnecessarily.

Your partner has asked you to mow the lawn for months but you have been choosing to do other projects instead.

Whatever it is, if your partner continually feels unheard, they will pull away emotionally and physically because they do not feel a priority to you.

You may also be pulling away because you are feeling nagged as a result of consistently ignoring your partner’s needs and doing what you want.

The end result is there are two people in the relationship resenting each other which promotes criticism, unforgiveness, anger, annoyance with each other etc.

This can all be resolved with communication, listening to understand your partner’s needs then following through.
Your partner would not only feel heard but also valued and loved as your partner which would strengthen the friendship, romance and physical intimacy.
