Is hard to strike balance between own interest and partner's interest, on the matter of relationship. Therefore, communication has to be built as conduit to convey personal interest to evade conflicts. The common term which corporation used "conflicts of interest", has the best practice to avoid - to make self-declaration if there is any pursuit of personal interest that evoke conflicts with the company.
Communication does not mean to give instruction, for partner to comply but to achieve common understanding that both parties acquiesced. Tolerance get involved when any party find unfairness rose during communication process so as there is give and take. Raising an issue to discuss was not intending to be forceful but on the ground to gain consent, collaboration and support.
Keeping silence will exacerbate the conflicts if communication was trying to establish, and being defensive will never make good things happen. Speak up for yourself, so that your partner understand. Else, conflicts of interest will be on show again and again, which eventually erode relationship.
Invest in a relationship needs tonnes of courage, so do speak for your own interest. Recognizing flaws in a relationship and communicate for the betterment of it, should be the constant that leads to a fruitful and happy relationship... and... that is why I spent time to talk to you...
[ps: Before writing these, negative thoughts keep on parading my mind, when the communication was screwed up early this afternoon. Till I wrote this, I felt much better as recognizing flaws is a milestone of managing relationship.]
