You should be able to talk about anything and everything with your forever person. No topic should be off limits. Nothing should be too serious or too silly, too heavy or too hypothetical. You should feel comfortable spitballing ideas to them, revealing fears to them, opening up your gooey, bleeding heart to them. They will want to ease your worries. They will want to make sure you're not stressing over something when they could easily put an end to your questions. You shouldn't quietly resent them and hope they manage to read your mind and change their behaviors on their own. You should let them know what's been bothering you and see if you can come to a compromise in order to fix your frustrations. You should be able to be completely upfront with your forever person. You should be able to tell them when you need space and when you need attention. When you need their advice and when you simply want them to listen to you rant. You should be completely transparent with them, because if you keep things locked up inside, even tiny things, it's slowly going to separate you. You'll understand each other more if you're open to conversations. Open to compromises. Open to discussing your feelings in a raw, real way without any censorship. You should be able to tell your forever person when you feel on the verge of breaking down. Or when you feel too overwhelmed to put anything else on your plate. You should be able to tell your forever person what is going on inside of you, because sometimes, appearances lie. Sometimes, even the people closest to us can't see what we're going through, not unless we let them see. Not unless we choose to be honest. Not unless we let down our guards completely. If you want a strong, healthy relationship, then you're going to have to have tough conversations sometimes. But you should feel comfortable approaching your forever person about anything. You should feel confident you're a team, and whatever you have to say will only strengthen your relationship, not weaken it.
