[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP.  Your issues large stem from conversational differences that set you guys up behind the eight ball before you even start a discussion.  You have different ways of communicating and you have to learn to compromise and speak in ways that will make your partner more receptive to what you have to say. [/quote]

I hope you are right. That is, I hope the problems arise from conversational differences. If so, I think we can solve our problems.

I wonder, though, if for some issues my wife simply can't reason her way through. She sometimes leaps from A to Z, and I'm unable to trace the thought process that falls in the middle. When I ask "can you explain why you feel that way?" she is sometimes unable. She can't explain how or why she reached her own conclusions. There have been odd lapses in judgment now and then which suggests that no real thinking is taking place ... kind of like a teenager who doesn't look before they leap. This makes me nervous, because when a parent is responsible for a child's life, the parent MUST look before they leap.

For everyone wondering why people are calling OP hypercritical or saying the advice would be different if it were a woman asking: here he gets concrete advice about communications strategies and pivots directly to "but what if she's simply too stupid and immature to communicate with?"

What a patient, long-suffering husband!   :roll:   [/quote]
