DH and I imploded this week after a long period of total lack of communication. This has been an ongoing problem in our 26 year relationship and rears its ugly head with a row every few years. It extends to everything - feelings, sex, finances, day to day matters.
I love and fancy this man, I have no doubt he loves and fancies me. We have talked about having counselling but, believe me, DH would struggle badly and if you knew him, you too would be loath to force him.
Any hints/tips on how to improve communication.
He is coming home for lunch every day now so that we have time to talk without the dc around and without being exhausted at the end of the day.
We are setting aside 10 minutes later in the day when each of us are talking about some sort of feeling we've had during the day, not necessarily about each other, could be anything. So far, these 10 minutes are lasting about half an hour, so that's positive!
We are trying to go to bed at the same time so we can talk a little and snuggle and see what comes up!
But any other help gratefully received.
