does anyone have communication problem with her partner?

The major problem i am facing in my marriage right now is that of communication breakdown. we used to communicate freely during courtship but now any attempts at communicating ends in names calling, arguments and malice. the marriage is just 4 years old and its supposed to be for better for worse. am i supposed to continue like this for the rest of my life? i bet this will not work out. your contributions will go along way to help salvage my sanity. help i'm going mental.

    Does anyone NOT have communication problems with her partner at some point in a marriage?

    Marriage counseling, separately and together works for us. We need to go back again soon!

    Marriage is a rose garden. You get the pretty roses sometimes, and other times it's just thorny stems and leaf spot. The roses will come back iif you take care of the plants.

    Well I can see why you guys are having communications problems right now. In your message you certainly didn't hesitate to tell us that you BET this doesn't work out. Right there you have already done every except call your divorce attorney. The thing is, we normally get that of which we expect. So if you're expecting and looking for the death of your marriage you can rest assured that you will soon find it. But imagine if you looked just as hard for the positive bright future that could be?" I believe that most people become like little babies again once they get married, they forget how to talk. But here's the thing, effective communications starts long before you open your mouth. You can't walk around frowning all day long and then expect your mate to be playful and happy that evening. You hit the nail on the head in your message when you talked about your happy courtship. Go back to being that person, that is who your husband fell in love with and married.

    PS: I had to laugh at the name calling part, that was funny. I was just wondering what kind of names. LOL

    My ex and I had great communication. We respected one another to the highest. We loved one another very much and cared for each other as well. Do you have all of that? If not then you need to fix it so you do. Looks like you two lost something somewhere along the line and either need it back or else your marriage is gonna take a big dive downwards. But both of you guys gotta want it for it to work. Good Luck in whatever you decide to do

    Sounds like, you are the one, who is trying to talk and you are not getting any reciprocating back.

    Looks like he isn't ready to talk. He is angry at you (as the nearest and in his mind, the most possible person responsible for his failures) permanently, and maybe there's nothing you can do about it.

    The best thing is to get separated for a while and to give time and space to think, if he really needs you.

    The cause can be as simple (but bitter) as him wanting another woman.

    Or as simple (and the most irritable for men) as getting medical reasons for poor libido.

    There can be many other reasons. The result is the same - he doesn't listen.

    He didn't buy you to treat you this way. Rectify your life, darling!

    Cheers!

    Why don't you try marriage counseling? This is a common thing that happens during marriage. At least you recognize it and want to seek help. Marriage is for better or for worse and this is just one of those times that are worse. Good luck. I am sure everything will work out.

    I have highly recommended a couple of books to several on this forum and I wished that I had found them in the early part of my marriage.

    Secrets of Happily Married Women and for our men Secrets of Happily Married Men

    It was amazing about explaining how we as women communicate and how the men are actually hearing it. There is a chapter on how to fight better. We all fight, but by reading this book (and his methods did work for me) I became more effective in getting my message across in a way he'd hear what I needed him to hear.

    Did you ever stop to think it maybe the way you are communicating? Are you always negative? Are you demanding? Your choice of words? Ask yourself how can i word this better. Body Language you are ising - tone of voice you use. Are you asking a question or giving an order?

    I PERSONALLY FEEL instead of going to some marriage councellor you guys need to sit and TALK,, you need to know what the actual problem is.

    SEE there are certain people who are not expressive and your husband seems to be one of them

    There is something going in his mind and heart and all you need is to explore that

    You will need patience for that
