Being able to communicate openly is the key to a lasting and happy relationship. But in so many cases it is difficult or even impossible to persuade a man to talk about their feelings, fears and needs. For women this seems very easy to do but men are a different story. If you have this problem and are unable to get the information you need from your partner, it’s possible you need to try some new ideas.
Pick the right setting
It’s best to approach when you are already engaged in conversation instead of interrupting something else that is going on. Mostly, conversations happen during a meal, in bed or while you are doing something together. These are great opportunities to get him to open up.
Timing is crucial
You don’t want to blow a chance just because you lost your patience. Be sensitive to when it is a good time to talk and be careful not to approach when your partner is tired or preoccupied.
Show him how it’s done
For him to reveal, you’ve got to be revealing. Feel free to share your past experiences (though I wouldn’t suggest talking about your past relationships)…your favorite music or movies…your hopes and dreams…your fears or fantasies. After a while, he’ll do the same with you.
Don’t look back
Men really don’t enjoy lingering on the same, sore topic. If he did something to hurt or offend you and he said he’s sorry, then it’s probably best to accept it and move on.
Be careful with your response
You don’t want to get your partner to shut down just because of a cynical remark. Be sensitive to what they are saying and let them fully express their ideas before responding. No matter what his ideas are – let them say it and feel comfortable doing so.
Stay attentive
You don’t always need to put in your 2 cents when it comes to your partner opening up. Just make sure that you are fully present and avoid getting distracted. Let your partner express their ideas and thoughts and be there to listen and absorb.
With all my heart, I wish you the love, light and happiness you deserve.
