"I can't tell my partner "that" because it might hurt his feelings."
While it is true, what you have to say might hurt your partner's feelings, that isn't the real reason you aren't speaking your truth to your partner. The reason reason is, if you tell your partner what's really on your mind, you're afraid he will get upset and that will upset you. So you are not worried so much about your partner's feelings as you are worried about his reaction to what you have say that will make you feel bad.
Having upsets in our relationships with each other is part of our spiritual growth. Having an upset is not a bad thing, it it taking our upset out on others that is the problem.
Have your upsets, process them and then "respond" appropriately to a situation rather than openly"reacting" to it.
Responding to problems in your relationship will solve them quickly. On the other hand, openly "reacting" to them will make them worse.
