Why Your Spouse Doesn’t Listen To You

It is not uncommon for couples to experience a period when talking to each other becomes a challenge and when getting your spouse to listen becomes difficult.

Here are some reasons why it is difficult for your partner to listen to you.

Too many words

You may be talking too long to say what you want to say. Sometimes, when we’re nervous or expecting  a negative response or conflict, we may become more long in talking than necessary.

Poor timing

Your spouse wouldn’t listen attentively when tired, stressed out, or occupied with other thoughts, or busy with other things..

Monopolize

In your attempt to get them to listen you may inadvertently monopolize  conversations. Good conversations allow both people to contribute.

Hurtful comments 

If you have a history of saying things that are hurtful, insulting, intimidating, dismissive or disrespectful spouse’s opinion, beliefs, etc your spouse may not listen to you.

Ulterior motives

Your spouse may think that there’s a pattern of manipulation in what you say to them and preemptively decide to tune you out.

Lecturing

A talking style that come  as preaching, lecturing  or questioningl may make your uninterested in your conversation.

Generalising

If you use too many negative generalities  in your statement, your  partner will feel attacked and assume that all you see are their faults.
