Lesson Overview

5.37 – Handling Conflicts Around Autonomy: Autonomy can sometimes spark tension when one partner feels ignored or the other feels restricted. Conflicts about independence often arise from fear of loss rather than real imbalance. Resolving them requires empathy and calm communication. Both partners must clarify what independence means to them and how it affects the relationship. Healthy dialogue turns misunderstanding into growth. Compromise ensures that autonomy coexists with closeness. When handled with maturity, these conflicts actually strengthen trust. Respectful negotiation transforms tension into renewed balance.
