<human>: Can you condense the text into three sentences or less?

My boyfriend and I keep getting into an argument over the fact that I can't rapidly articulate myself like he can, causing me to withdraw in discussions and fights. I don't know why I am this way. I just know I like to be sure in my decision making, cautious to a fault, and especially at times of high emotion it's difficult for me to really get in touch with my needs and thoughts on an issue.

We eventually agreed that if he has an issue that needs addressing, he can pose it to me in the morning, I will spend a day to think/dwell/chew and come to him with an articulate answer, and we can discuss it further from there if need be. Do you think this is fair?

Also, does anyone have any advice on how to be somewhat more intuned with one's own needs and wants rather than responding emotionally in the heat of the moment? I've become better at properly addressing my emotions and where they come from/what their function is so that I am not ruled by them, but I know that I can't *always* take the time I need to formulate a response.
<bot>: I'm going through a time of becoming much more aware of what I need in life and a relationship, and learning how to communicate those things, any advice is hugely appreciated.
