Recently, you and your partner have been disagreeing a lot, and it often leads to arguments. Every time you try and talk to them about how you're feeling they say it's no big deal, you're overreacting, or they just don't want to argue anymore. You feel that the issues are important and want a chance to explain how you feel without having to argue. After a day of not speaking, you text your partner and tell them you want to talk now, or the relationship is over. They text back and say they will talk when they're ready.
