Sometimes it’s hard to be honest and open with your partner, but you should be able to talk about anything and everything in a healthy partnership. That means both of you let the other person air out concerns or points of contention without criticism or judgment. The thing is, toxic relationships often involve on partner completely shutting down the other when it’s something they’d rather not hear. If you and your partner have trouble letting each other get things off your chest, you might need to reexamine things.
