Bottling up your feelings will end in resentment.
But if you dont bring up what is bothering you now, your relationship is never going to change.
Your person is goin to continue repeating those same hurtful actions because they have no idea theyre hurting you.
Erik Lucatero
They have no idea you are doing your best not to explode.
Bottling up your feelings will end in confusing arguments.
Maybe youll snap at them about something small.
Maybe youll grow distant from them.
Maybe youll get super quiet.
Either way, bottling up your feelings isnt going to help you avoid a fight.
But you shouldnt allow someone to get away with hurting you.
Youre allowed to talk about your feelings.
Youre allowed to approach someone who hurt you and explain the situation from your point of view.
Youre allowed to request better treatment in the future.
Bottling up your feelings is going to backfire on you.
Its going to slowly pull you apart from your person.
If you feel like you cant talk to each other, that means you cant really trust each other.
That means you arent going to last long.
Remember, relationships are supposed to be about showing each other your true, uncensored selves.
Youre not supposed to be pretending around them.
Youre not supposed to tell little white lies.
Your person shouldnt expect you to be emotionless.
Your person shouldnt judge you for acting vulnerable in front of them.
Bottling up your feelings will end in a breakup.
You cant expect them to play guessing games.
And you cant hold your opinions inside because you are worried about looking silly, either.
No matter how awkward and uncomfortable the conversation might feel, you cannot keep anything from your partner.
You cannot hold secrets or grudges.
you should probably be open with them.
Meanwhile, actually gathering the courage talking about your feelings is going to strengthen you as a couple.
Its going to make you an even better team.
