So, let us examine what we can do in the face of misunderstanding and how to avoid them. The first way and one of the most important steps to take to avoid relationship misunderstanding is to be completely attentive to your partner. Most misunderstandings happen because we don’t listen well to what is being said. This also applies to messages that we get through the text like emails. The reason being, if you have other thoughts in your mind, they can disturb and disable your ability to correctly understand what your partner really wants to convey to you. And, sometimes, there’s more to what is being said. You need to understand the true meaning behind the words which may be hidden in some cases. It is important to ensure that you do not miss any visual cue that can add to the information being conveyed by your partner, and make it complete. This calls for careful and intent observation. And for your part too, you need to be mindful of how you convey your words. Sometimes things sound bad but they look fine, and vice versa. Always remember that intent is more important during a conversation than the content of a conversation. Try to know the intent of the person through these cues by carefully observing and identifying them. Keep your mind clear and open, and so not conclude based on presumptions and assumptions. The reason being, we may get upset by the tone used, and presume it is being used sarcastically, even though if it wasn’t. When you convey a message, and it seems like you are being misunderstood. This is another room for arguments. But before you think of arguing, you should ask if you are actually being misunderstood or if the way your partner has interpreted the situation is warranted. The reason for you to do this is that we often privilege our viewpoints and presume objectivity when, in reality, what we said can actually be interpreted many ways. If so, what difference does it make? After carefully assessing the situation and have come to the conclusion that you’ve been misunderstood, your goal should not be to start a fight, after all, you are right. Your aim should be to pursue clarity, not just be correct. Being more concerned about your aim to pursue clarity instead of who is right also provides a path forward for you and your partner during your challenging times.
