My partner and I are both trying to learn quantum physics together using the Feynman technique, but whenever I explain something to them they get defensive and say I'm being condescending, and when they explain to me I find myself getting impatient with their pace. We thought teaching each other would bring us closer but it's creating more friction than learning alone ever did.
More people experience this than they realize.
The vulnerability required for truly simple explanation exposes ego wounds and control patterns that surface differently in intimate relationships than in other learning contexts.
