What to do when stress brings out the worst in your partner, according to a therapist:
No person or relationship is perfect. Add to this that when we feel stressed, we all sometimes respond in ways that are less than ideal. So, if recent stressors are bringing out the worst in your partner – and possibly putting your long-term, normally happy relationship to the test – you may want to pause and reflect.
Importantly, this suggestion to take time to think about their experience before acting does not include times when your partner is abusive. If you are in danger, make a safety plan and then leave .
If you are so worked up that you cannot do this, then you might want to step away and do something to help calm and nurture yourself. These actions can help you to listen with a more open heart. Because you are also facing many stressors, you may feel at your wit’s end. So, be patient with yourself.Being able to see a situation through your partner’s eyes does not mean that you agree with them or approve of their behaviors.
