How do you get through to your husband to get him to understand that whatever is important to me should be important to him. Or whatever upsets me should be important to him. We fight about different little "issues" but taking those issues aside, I try to at least get him to understand that by him not wanting to understand how I, as a person, operate we will never get anywhere and will fight around in circles. I have shared my childhood with him and explained why I am the way I am (I make myself sound like a freak, but I'm really quite relaxed, he just pushes my buttons!) and he rolls his eyes. How do you turn a blind eye when all you want is your partner to cooperate with you? I take the time to understand why he does the things he does, but he sees that sort of "psychology" as a waste of time.

I am not one to hide my feelings, so trust me, we have spoken about these topics at length but to no avail. I am happy to tell him how I feel but it doesn't work. I'm always happy to be the listener too, so don't think I'm the only one talking. :)

I don't know where someone got that we have been together 25 years! I didn't say that anywhere. We've only been together for 2 years.
