You have a good attitude. 🙂
[quote]How do you get a man to communicate better without thinking he’s going to be attacked or afraid he’s going to hurt my feelings?[/quote]
First, you have to be a little more specific about what you mean by communicating better. We all communicate differently, so rather than blame him for not communicating better, drop the judgment and look at this as a relationship issue, not his problem. 😉 What, exactly, would you like to see change? And why?
Second, understand that with any kind of behavioral change that you’re trying to elicit, you will probably do better with a reward system, not a punishment system, so when something goes the way you want it to go, reward him without being patronizing. People change when they feel good about making a change, so try to imagine what you want and then what it would take for him to feel good about doing that.
Hope that helps!
