Comparison

Notice comparisons and scorekeeping that turn a shared concern into a contest.

18. Avoid comparing my partner with an ex, another couple, or an ideal version of themselves?

For example: You notice another couple posts frequent vacations. You resist using their photos as a measure of your partner’s love.

20. Notice when “This is difficult” becomes “This is unbearable” or “This should never happen”?

For example: An argument is unpleasant. You replace “I cannot stand this” with “This is difficult, and I can take a pause.”

22. Avoid keeping a running score of who has suffered, worked, or loved more?

For example: You have done more household work this week. You describe the work and ask for a plan rather than reciting every past sacrifice.
