Before

🗣️ Talking past each other
You both try to explain yourselves, but the conversation still leaves one or both of you feeling unheard.
🙃 Misread intent
Neutral comments turn tense because tone, timing, or meaning gets interpreted differently than intended.
🌀 Shutdowns and spirals
One of you withdraws, the other pushes harder, and communication gets worse right when it matters most.
