Relationship Stress / by fairmindedGrapes5035

...See more I’ve been with my partner for the last 8 years. The first 4 years were long distance except during the summers. We tried to move into a studio apartment together but struggled with communication. I moved away for a job and our relationship was back on track for a year. We then moved in together right before covid and with all the stress from that situation, our communication has weakened. Because of some traumatic events, I’ve become more insecure and I’m dealing with a good amount of anxiety and depression. I’ve had a pattern of defensiveness that stems from my insecurities and leaves my partner feeling unheard. It hurts terribly to know that I continue to mistreat my partner when I love them and want them to be heard. I’m afraid I’ve been reactive one too many times and he is ready to leave for good. I’ve meditated, journaled, uncovered the negative core beliefs I’ve been harboring and yet I’m still projecting and reacting instead of listening. How can I truly make these changes so I stop hurting my partner?
