I will communicate clearly with my partner.

Clarity costs something, which is why we avoid it. Sighing about the bins is easier than saying, I would like you to take them out on Sunday nights.

The sigh is deniable. The sentence is not. You can be refused, or agreed with, and either way you have admitted to wanting something.

Most household resentment is made of sentences that got replaced by hints. Take the one you have been hinting at for weeks and say it today in a single plain line, with no preamble in front of it.
