Navigate relationship communication with emotional intelligence. Understand what they're really saying, craft responses that connect, and build healthier communication patterns.

"Winning" the Argument Pattern: Treating text exchange as battle to be won. Problem: Partners aren't opponents. "Winning" means someone loses. Instead: Seek understanding and solution, not victory.

Over-Explaining Pattern: Essay-length texts defending your position. Problem: Overwhelms partner, looks defensive, invites counter-essay. Instead: Be concise. "Can we talk about this more in person?"
