Marriage is hard
I've been married for 6 years and it's still hard. We have
disagreements about communication. Sometimes I want to talk about
something and my wife just wants alone time. This can lead to big
arguments sometimes. I don't know the solution here, but if anyone else
has the same situation, just know you're not the only one.
@walkalot
No doubt it is. Have you tried to set a time to talk?
Hello, @walkalot !
I suppose it's been now almost 8 years since your marriage, and I want to know how things are going between you now. Is it any better? Did you find a solution?
Also, as you already know, any great relationship needs much effort to maintain, and any kind of relationships has moments with ups and downs.
As you too are a listener, you know perfectly how talking out is the first step to solve a problem. Yet, if your partner has little knowldege or experience in the mental health field, it can be challenging to prove that communication is key. Your role would be then to try and inform her about the benefits of communication, and let her trust in the safety of doing so by letting her know your openess and acceptance towards any kind of situation.
Best regards! : )
@MarwaneB thank you. I think the solutions I’ve found are, be willing to forgive even if the other person doesn’t say sorry. And, try to view the positives more than the negatives.
Not much has changed. We still have our ups and downs but we’re doing okay
@walkalot
I'm glad you could manage to find your way to work it out, and I'm happy to see you maintaing a healthy long-term relationship! Wish you the best! : )
@walkalot I understand how you feel. Have you taken time to have a sit down to talk. A convinient time for all of you?
@walkalot That does sound like a difficult situation to be in. Communication can be hard, even after many years of being together.
@walkalot
Its a tricky situation. I'm sure you and your partner want to smoothen out things. Have you tried couple's therapy? Maybe that can help. I wish you the best buddy. Don't lose hope.
