Please start to see it from my side of the story

Me and my partner always say the same thing: please start to see it from my side of the story. Like this, we do not hear each other. We always want to be right and we always wait for the other to come first.

This pattern was recently made visible to us by our relationship counselor. That made me think. In the heat of the moment I do not change yet. But I feel that sometimes even before the fight starts, I change my thinking pattern. I look at it as a small step in the right direction.
