Starting that difficult talk

Any relationship can hit a rocky patch.

That is not the issue, what is unfortunate however is keeping your feelings bottled up. By not letting your partner know about your hurt, anger, sadness or feelings of loneliness, you are shutting them out.
By shutting them out you (unwittingly) create more of your sadness, anger or loneliness.

I regularly meet couples in my practice, where one or the other has not been open about their true feelings. What happens there is that the other partner has to catch up very quickly. Which also causes hurt (of being shut out), anger (same), feelings of loneliness (why hasn't (s)he confided in me?)

Do start that difficult talk. Let your partner in. That way you can move forward, together.
