Save Marriage Secrets

The fourth in the series of bad relationship ideas is about holding back the truth out of fear.

Do you sometimes find that when you are talking with your partner you find yourself not quite telling the truth because you are frightened your partner will not like what you are saying?

This also happens when your partner asks you a question, most likely in all innocence, and you find yourself giving a little white lie for an answer because you are again frightened your partner will take the truth the wrong way.

We call this “talking on eggshells” and if it’s done consistently , it will most probably lead to resentment, separation and possibly explosions when you least expect it.

You can find out more information on how to stop this at Stop Talking On Eggshells.

If this is a problem for you, one way to start being more authentic is to tune into yourself when you feel yourself stiffen up, talk around a situation, placate, not answer a question directly or any number of ways you might find yourself talking on eggshells

Recognizing what triggers this reaction is the first place to start dealing with it and changing the way you react.
