Thank you for this piece. It really resonated with me. "What matters more in the process of connection is sensing that your partner is actually trying—that they genuinely care about your feelings and want to understand, even if they don’t." - this in particular is very powerful.
Hi Yael, I have realised that most of the relationship problems, especially in close relationships, is lack of connection, not necessarily communication. I mean of course communication problems are symptoms of connection problem. One is deeper and the other is more surface level. Do you agree with that?
