It is important for both people in their relationship to communicate their needs.
Some people have come from a family system where feelings were not discussed.
Maybe feelings were pushed down to avoid conflict.
A child from this family system learns to avoid conflict and maybe to back down in conflict or be the only one in relationships to compromise.
A partner who has grown up in this family system may have learnt to be a people pleaser to their own detriment.
This means while they are meeting the needs of others, they don’t know how to ask for their own needs in relationships.
A relationship will not feel “safe” if one or both people cannot communicate their needs to their partner or communicate their feelings in conflict.
