I have a question about this episode Esther Perel: How to Find, Build & Maintain Healthy Romantic Relationships and this Conflict to Connection. My partner doesn't seem to think it's healthy or productive to allow the hurt partner to have their "moment in the spotlight" while discussing that person's hurt or concern. For example, if I come to him with something I'm sad about, he responds with comments about how I do that too, or how I do XYZ and it hurts him, or else he will bring up how he hasn't healed from the dinner with the ex. He also seems to consider every disagreement or discussion about relationship issues that need a compromise as a "fight," and he often gets very angry, starts yelling, and tells me to leave the room. What should I do in this situation?
Can you explain the concept that when you get in a fight with your spouse, you should ask what the goal is and that it's about connection, as mentioned by Jordan Peterson in your episode with him, in relation to the episode Childhood Trauma, Marriage, and Making Friends | Dr. John Delony | EP 307 and the clip Deep Listening Skills?
