How do I communicate my needs better to my partner? I’m so frustrated that my needs aren’t met and that my love language is not considered, but I struggle so much with the mental load of explaining how I want to be loved to my partner.

it depends…what are the needs? basic respect ? no don’t even waste your breath. you prefer to be left alone after work? okay let’s communicate that and see how they act afterwards. sometimes communicating to a partner is okay. open healthily dialogue. what isnt okay is if they continue to do it or try to overstep and push down your boundaries

Literally. Just broke it off with a guy I was seeing cause he wasn’t considerate enough.

I think openly discuss how you’re feeling and what needs aren’t being met as well as your love language, and if he didn’t putting in any effort after that to make things work, call him out on it and consider if it would be best to break up. Good luck diva
