Communication

Sometimes this growth process is frustrating. I'm learning to have patience. Sometimes my feelings get hurt and before I react out of that hurt I'm discovering the importance of communicating that something has hurt my feelings and most of the time it was unintentional and he was trying to communicate something different. 

Then I stop to wonder is it pride when I declare " you hurt my feelings?" He rarely says I hurt his feelings, even on the days I am struggling to be respectful. So I'm left with two vague conclusions that maybe I should clarify with someone. Communication is important but sometimes it can come from pride so one must be careful not to compound the problem by communicating.
