Whenever we try and discuss anything serious, we always seem to end up arguing. It really, really hacks me off. We just don't seem to understand each other. Or could it just be a Venus/Mars thing? He said this morning "We are always on the back foot" (relating to DD and her education) and I asked for examples as to why he felt like this to which he responds with "Why do I have to give you examples? Why can't you just accept what I am saying?" Because I can't, because I don't know what you are referring to ffs. I then raise my voice, he accuses me of shouting, which makes me shout more. I don't really know why I am bothering to post this, as it is a very regular occurrence - just thought I would see if anyone else suffers in this way. Otherwise we get on great. We just have a communication problem about things that are really important to us.
