Ever since I have started playing guitar, I have been resistant to Ryan teaching me anything on it. I physically tense up and kind of pull into myself when he tries to teach me something or give me pointers.

( Last Night, it all came out... )

After we both felt comfortable that it was all settled, we reflected on the exchange, and complimented each other on specific communication skills. We managed to resolve the whole thing without either of us raising our voices or being intentionally hurtful. Since peaceful conflict resolution is one of our biggest challenges, this made us both feel very proud, of ourselves and of each other.
