When you've had an argument and your husband won't talk to you, what should you do? How do you communicate with him so you can resolve the problem and let your feelings be known? If you find yourself trying to talk to your husband about something important and it just seems to put him in a rage or causes him to shut down completely, then it's time to analyze your approach.

Knowing What To Do When Your Husband Won't Talk To You - Understanding Your Differences

One of the most important things to remember is that men and women are two totally different creatures. They don't think the same. They don't act the same. And they most certainly don't communicate the same way. If you want to get through to your husband so he'll talk to you, then you need to speak to him in a way he understands.

Keep in mind that men tend to take words literally. Have you ever found yourself saying things to him like:

  • "You never help around the house."
  • "You're always working."
  • "You never talk to me or tell me what's going on when you're stressed."
  • "You always spend time with your buddies instead of me."

When you use definitive words like "always" and "never" it completely discounts all the things he DOES do for you. For example, maybe he takes out the garbage, changes the oil in your car, or fixes the broken table leg in the kitchen.

Maybe you feel like he needs to help out more, but these are all things he does for you that you may forget to appreciate him for. If you use words like always and never, then your husband will immediately put up a wall and won't be open to any communication.

Instead, get him to help more by appreciating him when he helps around the house, no matter how small the action is. For example, it might be as simple as, "Thanks for bringing in that empty glass from the living room." You'll have a much better reaction from him if you approach him from the standpoint of appreciation rather than complaining about everything he's not doing.

When you need to discuss something important with your husband, use the word "I" instead of "you" to express your feelings. For example if he doesn't spend enough time with you, try saying something like, "I love spending time with you and I miss you when you're not here. I feel left out when I don't get to see you much."

That will go over much better than saying something like, "You're never home. You always spend time with your buddies and at work." If you try to communicate by using the word "you", then he will feel like you are pointing fingers. He will feel like you are blaming him and that everything is always HIS fault.
