to women: how do you communicate with your partner?

Question

How do you communicate with your partner? How do they communicate with you? What is good/bad about your experience? Please share some thoughts on your past experience, and give tips to guys, and also, to other women as well.

Answer 1

I communicate very well in letter form. Sometimes I have trouble being tactful and hard for me to chose the words I want to use. That's when I put the pen to the paper. He reads the letter in front of me and then we discuss it afterwards. It's great. We usually only do this when there is a problem I have trouble discussing. But it works very well.

Answer 2

Well, I am a married woman of 2 years and I've come to find in all my 38 years, that communication is very important. First things first, I'd have to say that holding things in and not telling your partner if something is upsetting you is going to lead to problems for both of you. It sure can help from future arguments ensuing.

Answer 3

I tell him we need to talk and he always stops what he's doing and listens. I never do this during a football game. LOL

Sometimes we argue....sometimes we just calming discuss it.

We may have to come back to the issue but we never just let it go because that makes things worse.

It must work because we're still in love after 30 years of marriage.

Answer 4

i am very up front with people. if i have a problem i do not avoid it i say it straight up. and i excpect my partner to dot the same. a relationship is a friendship as well as a sexual thing. If you have problems with one part you have problems with the other, at least thats what i've got from my experence.

Answer 5

We don't communicate. We just fight. Everyday about everything. Men and women aren't capable of effectively communicating if you ask me. And besides, if you fight all the time, you can have lots of good make up sex.

Answer 6

here's the recipe:
you try it all and then you get to a point where you realize that it's pointless so you just stop communicating.
