Asking for Relationship Advice: How to Word It Right?

Also ask what you do better. Just listen.

It is always okay to ask what you can do for your relationship. It is expressly creating space for your partner and yourself to talk about things that you may need that can only be fulfilled by each other. I've seen some amazing advice about writing down what you want to say, but also, there's such a big push on conversations only happening outloud, but please know that you can absolutely have these conversations over text, if that's better for you both. Not only does it give you the chance to look at how you're wording stuff and make sure you're saying exactly what you want to say, but also ensures you can go back and re-read it and refresh on things that you guys have talked about

can I ask what E/Em/Eir is? not trying to being rude just want to educate myself ❤

I could help by finding out more information about you and E on a personal level. I struggled with this a lot especially through high school and still sometimes struggle but I tend to be good at accessing other situations. Mind if I DM you?

It is absolutely okay to ask that with your significant other! I have a tendency to write out big things emotional things that have more than one line of thought to them! It helps me organize my thoughts and make sure I’m saying everything I want to say. Maybe say* something along the lines of “I want to make sure our lines of communication are opening, is there anything you feel I could be doing differently? *it doesn’t necessarily have to be talking, it could be writing or typing or something else! sometimes the pressure to talk (especially about big feelings) makes it hard to even get to the thing you want to discuss

I'd love to give some advice. Is it okay if I dm you and we talk about it there?
