[quote=Anonymous]My suggestion is to rephrase your "complaint" into a request. He probably feels like you're criticizing him - which, if your samples are any indication, you kind of are. If he still gets defensive, just don't engage. For example: You: I would really appreciate it if you could put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher. DH: But you leave dirty clothes in the bedroom! You: I hear what you're saying. But I would really appreciate it if you could just put this stuff in the dishwasher. Thanks! End of discussion. Walk away or change the subject if you have to in order to avoid an argument. He heard what you said, even if he isn't acting like it, so leave it at that.[/quote]
