There are many different pressures upon relationships these days, and especially as our lives get affected by all sorts of changes. Communication is essential between all couples and sometimes people need a safe, non judgemental environment in which to open up about and discuss relationship issues. It is healthy to express what is upsetting or worrying you in a relationship and to explore ways of finding solutions rather than allowing years of resentments to build up. I always ask couples how they would feel if they split up and then several years later met for coffee and explained how they had felt only to find out that their ex had no idea what the real problems had been.
