Do you vent to your partner and are they understanding?

He’s understanding, but sometimes he just doesn’t understand where I’m coming from if that makes sense. Like, he has the most patience for me and can be supportive. He can see that it’s hard for me, but he doesn’t fully see things through my eyes or why I feel a certain way or the reason behind things I’m dealing with and what I’m going through. Don’t get me wrong he’s compassionate and I let him know that I appreciate his support, but sometimes it can be frustrating when he doesn’t quite get my perspective or when he’s missing my point because I wish he could just see things my way. I know he cares, and that makes a difference, but there are moments when I just need him to really understand! not just support me, but see things through my eyes. It’s hard to explain 😥😥

I understand 100% exactly what you are trying to say and i wish that i knew the answer because if i did it could probably save the both of us. I'm telling you this with all the love in the world don't push him, he can never see things through your eyes because they are yours. No matter how close that someone is to you they will always be on the outside looking in, all you can do is invite them inside with you, to see your point of view things from your angle. Its impossible for someone else to see through your eyes.

I wouldn’t say he is my go to person. He tries to understand and slowly improves. Very slowly like it’s taken over a decade. I sort of feel there are some things only other women can understand.

I've vented less as the years go by. He's a good, calming Prescence in my life...

I do that to my counsellor more these days.

But I know he's still there for me, if I need to.

Yes, and we understand each other quite well. Being together over half a century will do that to you.
