Our anger is often misplaced: We start arguing about the laundry, when really we’re upset about how our partner spends their time. We argue about how the children should do their homework, when actually what upsets us is that our partner doesn’t give us enough attention. We argue about how no one’s helping around the house, when really what we’re upset about is not feeling understood or heard. The conflict won’t go away until we identify and address its true source.
