My partner a lot of the times will say that I’m going against them or that I don’t feel them or that their words fall on deaf ears and I’m at a loss. He has also said that he knows what is best for me. These statements are most frequently heard when I have an opinion that differs from his own. I usually try to say that I respect their opinion and that me having a different opinion doesn’t make theirs wrong and mine right.. just different. How can I communicate in a way that my partner still feels heard when I’m voicing a different opinion. This happens in many conversations with subjects ranging from mundane to serious.
