Your partner or friend does something that genuinely bothers you. What actually happens?
I bring it up directly: 'When you did X, I felt Y. Can we talk about it?'
I let it go — it is easier than the conversation, and maybe it does not matter
I say something, but sharply or with more edge than intended
I do not say anything directly, but I am probably cooler with them for a while
