“You’re my lover and my best friend.”

“We’ve got the best of both worlds: friendship and romance. You’re my confidant, my partner in crime, the person I go to for help and to share my day with. You’re also the apple of my eye, my one true love. I never knew I could find such amazing friendship and romance in the same person.”

Expert Answer

Make sure that all of your communication comes from a place of love! Focus on really sharing common ground and figuring out what you want to achieve. How can you be kind and gentle and share your feelings and needs without sounding controlling? Try to have a better understanding of yourself, and always listen to your partner to understand them. Once you establish a healthy connection of that and you're not resorting to aggression or anger, it will be easier to open up.
