Interpersonal Relationships


1. From the course I've learned how to become a better speaker with others and members that are close to me when it comes to difficult subjects.  For example,  with my spouse, we use to argue about every day things like picking up after himself. I noticed though that I shouldn't jump on him right when he walked through the door after work. He is tired and has  a lot on his mind like bills considering him being the bread maker. Instead we cool off and relax together and do parts to keep the house clean. 

2. The course has made my interpersonal relationship a whole lot better and less "shouty" before it was frustrating and we didn't really talk about what we were feeling and for me reaching out to my partner made him also reach out to me. I like to share what I learn from this class and bring it to help with us. I'm glad that I did, because its more comfortable and at ease with everyday little relationship argues. 

3. Instead of me jumping to conclusions on how my partner may be feeling I shouldn't assume anything at all , because I can be wrong and trigger something bad. I first ask how he is feeling and try to address it as best as possible. If he wants to be left alone I will give him his space and not pick at him and making it worse.
