My partner often says I do not listen, but I feel I am already hearing them. The conversation quickly turns into defending myself instead of understanding the issue. What should I do?
We message and talk daily, yet both of us feel emotionally far away. Most conversations are about tasks, updates or complaints. How do we rebuild closeness?
A small comment about tone, chores or plans becomes a much bigger argument. We then forget the original issue and keep arguing about how the other person spoke.
Whenever the other person gets emotional, I become quiet and withdraw. They experience this as coldness, but I feel overwhelmed and need time.
People close to me say my tone sounds rude or dismissive, even when I am only being direct. I do not want every conversation to become about my tone.

I explain my feelings in detail, but the other person gives solutions or says I am overthinking. I end up feeling even more alone.
Many of our fights begin on WhatsApp or text. A short reply, late reply or emoji gets interpreted negatively.

One person speaks a lot, explains everything and decides the direction of the conversation. The other person gives up or says very little.

Likes, follows, comments and chats have started creating jealousy. I do not want to look insecure, but I also feel uncomfortable. How do I discuss it?
The relationship is good in some ways, but I am unsure about long-term compatibility. I do not want to hurt the other person or waste time. What should I evaluate?
After a big argument we stop talking for some time, then behave normally. But the same hurt remains and comes back later.
During every fight, old mistakes are brought up. The current issue becomes mixed with everything that has ever gone wrong.
When we disagree, the discussion moves from the issue to character attacks like selfish, immature, dramatic or controlling.
