Takeaway points:
1. Try to use "I" not "You"
and talk about your own thoughts and feelings.
2. Actively listen: hear what is being said by
the other person before you respond to them.
3. Acknowledge the other person's point of
view. You don't have to agree with them, but make it clear that
you have heard them.
4. Choose a lawyer who can argue positively on
your behalf and can help you to change your dynamic with your
partner. Your lawyer can use their skills and their role to help
you achieve the changes you want.
5. Thinking about or imagining your future
during relationship difficulties can be hard. Try to focus on what
you want to achieve, what you want to happen next, or what you want
to happen differently and be really clear about this when
you're talking to your partner.
