My partner [22 M] and I [21 F] have very different approaches to handling our emotions and resolving conflicts. I'm unsure how to find common ground.

I tend to be quite emotional and prefer to tackle conflicts directly and address issues as soon as they arise. My partner, on the other hand, needs some time to process things and often requires personal space before he can address problems. I want to honor both of our needs, but when he takes time for himself, I often feel unsettled and left in the dark. Do you have any advice on how we can find a compromise that works for both of us?
