Fights, issues, and problems are a part and parcel of relationships, especially romantic ones.


While the fights and arguments don’t matter much, resolving them and understanding the other person’s perspective are important.

Despite knowing this, many people find it difficult to talk to their partners about some issues they are experiencing with them.

In the long run, this is going to harm your relationship immensely. Thus, it is important to discuss everything with your partner.

Here are some common relationship issues people find embarrassing to discuss.

​1. Deeply hidden fear

These are deeper than fear of spiders or heights. These fears are mainly related to your personality, character, and fears. Moreover, sometimes they are so repressed that even you might not be aware of them. These include fear of being unworthy or unloved, not being good enough, not being impressive in your professional life, etc. However, you don’t need to feel embarrassed by them. Maybe your partner could help you overcome them.

2. Family issues

Many people believe that the family they belong to somehow reflects on who they are. However, if you had a complicated family growing up, you might feel ashamed about it, which can turn into fear over time. These issues are never easy to share, even when you have come to peace with them. But if you are willing to open up to your partner about them, you may discover that this is normal and not so weird after all.

3. ​Dreams and future goals

Sharing your goals and dreams is a very sensitive act because most people aren’t very supportive and confident about them. Such people’s lack of faith and support will cause you to scared about sharing them with anyone. However, you must share them with your partner. This will help your relationship to grow stronger. Also, it will help you realize that your partner is supportive of your dreams and goals.

4. ​Financial troubles

Though your financial condition is your personal and private business, certain aspects of it have to be shared with the person you share your life with. Always remember, you don’t need to face all your struggles alone. If your financial condition causes you embarrassment, try not to be so identified with it. Plus, it is temporary and you can always change it.

5. Weird sexual fantasies

While some sexual fantasies are easy to share, others are not because they are weird or unconventional. However, as long as you communicate your true intentions with your partner, there is nothing to worry about. Having the courage to share your sexual fantasies with your partner will only help strengthen your bond.
