Communication isn't usually what breaks down first. Partnership does.
When one person carries more of the emotional load...
when resentment replaces appreciation...
when you're keeping score instead of solving problems together...
even good communication techniques stop working.
That's why learning better scripts isn't enough. You need to rebuild the way you work together.
take responsibility without taking all the blame
tell the truth without attacking
repair after conflict instead of avoiding it
solve problems together instead of against each other
