Why Communication Breaks Down In A Relationship
Just schedule a time to pay attention
Simply say to your partner, “You know what, I’m just wrapping something up, can we talk in ten minutes when I can give you my full attention? I don’t want to only halfway listen. But I do need to finish this thing real quick.” This shows your partner that what he has to say actually does matter – it matters so much that you want to wait to hear it until you can be fully present.
