Heather Prince explains how ignoring trust concerns in relationships builds resentment and harms your health. Instead, talk to your partner calmly about what's bothering you, whether it's them coming home late or excessive phone use. Calm conversation lets them explain and stops things from spiraling.

Sometimes we have moments where we feel like we're unable to trust our partners. It could be because they're coming home late, they're spending so much time on the phone, or just our gut feeling. And if you ignore that feeling, it continues building and you resent your partner more every day. And resentment Doesn't hurt them, but it sure hurts you because resentment and emotions similar to that create dis-ease, disease, and that's the last thing you want. So rather open up and talk about these concerns, let them know how their behaviour is affecting you, and give them a platform to explain themselves. So there's no need to raise your voice, there's no need to shout, because being in control when you're communicating in a calm way is much more stable than losing it and ranting and raving. And then zip up and allow them to explain what's been going on.
