Anyone have any suggestions?

Hello, I am an SO and I'm new here. My H is a PA and I was just wondering if anyone could suggest any exercises to better our communication or any websites where I could find some?

Hi Amanda,

Can you say more about what the problem is as you see it? Would your H describe it the same way? What might he say from his side?

I know one of the most useful things my partner does for me is calmly tells it as she sees it from her point of view, giving me space to have my reaction. It's a real gift. Are you able to say how it is for you, without needing him to respond in any particular way?

One thing I'm sure you've seen recommended here is writing a letter. This can set things out is a very different and useful way from talking.

My 2p worth.
