I'm sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt. But sometimes you go on and on about something and I just want to clarify my understanding.

I appreciate your perspective, but can you let me finish my thought before adding yours? That way I feel like my voice is being heard.

Okay, I will try to be more mindful of that in the future. I don't want you to feel like I'm not listening or respecting your opinion.

Thanks, I really appreciate it. I think our conversations will be more productive this way.

You're right, and I think it's important for us to communicate effectively in our relationship.
