    Expert Answer
    Make sure that all of your communication comes from a place of love! Focus on really sharing common ground and figuring out what you want to achieve. How can you be kind and gentle and share your feelings and needs without sounding controlling? Try to have a better understanding of yourself, and always listen to your partner to understand them. Once you establish a healthy connection of that and you're not resorting to aggression or anger, it will be easier to open up.
