When you talk to your spouse, are you really hearing what he or she is saying? I don’t mean the words alone; I mean the meaning behind them. Even many years into my relationship, I’m still at times reluctant to say certain things to my wife for fear of seeming needy or petty.
I might hope for a compliment on an outfit, for example, or want to vent about something I know is ultimately no big deal. Sometimes I’ll fish for a compliment rather than asking directly how I look; other times I’ll speak about something general (“Why would anyone ever park in front of a driveway?”) instead of just asking her to ask her friend who is visiting not to park in front of our driveway.
My wife does this, too, and so do you, and so will your partner. At times, we all try to express things without saying them, but when you are in tune with your partner, you will pick up on the hints. And if you ever feel like you might be missing the point, ask directly. Once you ask someone about they were trying to address anyway, they will likely open right up.
