Communication in relationships - In-Depth Adult Life Discussion

I am also bad at communicating these things in person. I don't want to bother someone.

What I personally really like (and this sounds silly but bear with me) are those little magnet sets that have happy/sad/smart/cheeriful/silly faces on them, and then a little magnetic frame that usually says something like "Today I feel:" and you just take the frame and place it over whatever little emotive face matches your mood of the day or moment.

I know it sounds silly and possibly childish, but I say-whatever works!
It is better than keeping it inside until it becomes a problem. (I have a set of the magnets that is the smurfs with their different moods and it is sort of cute and funny)

I that doesn't appeal to you, maybe you could make notecards of various moods and feelings and pin one to the fridge each day or use it as a conversation starter with your partner (ie, "So today I feel angry because I was taking the trash out and the bag got a hole in it and leaked trash on the hallway and I had to clean it up and it made me late" or something like that).

Just my two cents. Hope it helps.
