Growth?

It’s really hard not to be thankful and happy.... I don’t want to stress about things that I have the power of doing something about 

I have learned that I feel anxious and angry and start not being so nice by criticizing and mocking the person when I feel like I am not being listened to. I don’t want to be controlling the situation but I am asking my partner to care about what we have both identified as a problem. I feel like I have to suppress my feelings and even be mean because I currently don’t see my relationship going anywhere unless some things are resolved. I understand that it doesn’t happen over night and I have to be patient but I need to see progress and it’s discouraging when that doesn’t happen. Once again I am proud of myself for voicing my concern despite the fact that it’s not an easy subject to talk about. I don’t want him to be blind sided in case I turn around and tell him that we should break up. I am nice most of the times and it’s hard for him to know that there is a problem unless I voice it like I did today. Iam thankful for being able to communicate and thankful that he listened
