Your relationship
You may readily notice shifts in feeling and nurture a calm closeness. The more you try not to hurt each other, the later an opportunity to speak honestly may come.
As romantic partners
Putting a small uneasiness into a request early can turn silence meant to avoid hurt into an action both of you can choose.
As friends
Asking whether now is a good time to talk before discussing a concern can fit the other person’s actual capacity rather than an imagined reading of their feelings.
As colleagues
A brief record for observations can bring something left unsaid out of consideration back into the next check-in.
