How to talk about your control issues with your partner
Silence builds walls
You’re afraid to talk about it.
You think if you say it out loud, it’ll become real.
That she’ll be disappointed. Or worse — that she already is.
So you avoid it.
You stay silent. You pretend.
You hope she didn’t notice, or that it won’t happen next time.
But the distance grows.
Not because of what happened in bed — but because you never said a word.
Naming the problem doesn’t make it worse — it makes it lighter
Your partner isn’t waiting for you to be perfect.
She’s waiting for you to be honest.
When you name what’s going on — even clumsily, even softly — you shift the weight.
You show that you care.
You show that you’re not ignoring it.
You open the door to trust.
And most of the time, what you’ll get back is relief.
Because she noticed something was off — and now it makes sense.
What to say (and what not to)
You don’t need to overexplain.
You don’t need to give her a full history of your shame.
You just need to speak from the body, not the ego.
Try something like:
“Sometimes I feel like I lose control faster than I’d like. It’s frustrating, but I’m working on it.”
That’s it.
Simple. Human. Clear.
Don’t say:
“I’m broken.”
“I can’t satisfy you.”
Or “It’s your fault.”
Own your process — without blaming or begging.
Let her in, but keep your ground
You’re not asking her to fix you.
You’re not confessing a crime.
You’re inviting her into your reality, so you can stop pretending.
That’s strength. That’s maturity.
And that’s the energy you’ll need to grow, with her and for you.
