Does this sound like a healthy relationship?
Is the approach you've described a hallmark of a healthy relationship?

If we do not communicate what we want to each other, are we denying the other person the opportunity to consider whether that would make them happy too? Is it our responsibility to moderate expressing our needs, wants, or desires, or is it our responsibility to only act in alignment with our own and to manage those that the other can’t or won’t meet together, with respect and without creating resentment?
