Meryl, I have been able to speak to my husband using the think, feel, and want lines with better results. I also am talking less and just waiting for his response that will take a few days and maybe a few reminders that I am still waiting for a response.
He is seriously challenged when it comes to communicating and can use a lot of poison phrases. He is on disability right now and is unemployed so his ego is in the dumps. But, despite it all he has been more real and vulnerable in conversations than he has ever been before.
And I have felt better about my words with him – more honest and to the point – less drama in fighting about things and just basically put the ball in his court and give him a chance.
