Asking For Support
Say what you are struggling with; close your eyes and feel for the unmet need under it — significance, love, certainty — and for one concrete thing the other person could do; then ask, in the stem 'I'm feeling…; would you have a moment to support me? What would really support me is…', and receive two minutes of it. Turning a struggle into a request while staying in relationship.
