It's normal to feel resentful in relationships from time to time. After all, we're only human and we're bound to have disagreements and conflict. However, it's important to address these resentments in a healthy way before they fester and cause further damage to the relationship. One way to do this is to simply talk to your partner about what's bothering you. It can be difficult to open up and be vulnerable, but it's important to communicate your feelings in order to work through them. Another way to address resentments is to journal about them or to talk to a trusted friend or therapist. This can help you to process your feelings and to develop a plan for how to address them with your partner.
