Dear Caterina: We love each other but can’t communicate
We love each other but don’t communicate well. Is our relationship over? Thank you.
Signed Communication issues
Dear Communication Issues:
Just because you don’t have the same communication style or way of processing life events, doesn’t mean that you can’t continue your relationship.
Some are able to say what is in their hearts easily. Others need time to process the information first before responding.
If you are the type of person who makes decisions quickly and your partner doesn’t, that can feel a little frustrating.
Once both of you are able to understand the others communication and processing style, it becomes much easier to open a conversation. The more you practice and the more you respect each others needs, the easier your conversations will become. When communicating the key is not to attach to the outcome of the conversation. In other words, don’t expect or anticipate how the conversation will go.
Love each other, hold each other able, respect your partners needs and be open to important conversations. The more you can be clarity in the conversation, the easier it gets.

Men and women do communicate differently, and nature itself is responsible. Men express their thoughts while utilizing logic with sometimes problem-solving. Women communicate their ideas while using their highly tuned emotions. Men are direct communicators, while women are indirect communicators. Why? Reasoning yields an immediate response while emotional feelings yield an indirect one.
How many times have you heard a man complain about a woman saying one thing when she meant another? How many times have you listened to a woman complain how insensitive he’s being? Why the variation in communication, even though, both sexes can speak the same language?
Men and women are not instinctually nor biologically equal because they are opposite partners. As opposite partners, their communication would be different. The key to remember is that a woman can benefit from a man’s verbal logic, just as much as a man will benefit from a woman’s verbal emotions.
Communication between the sexes is a combination of logic and emotion. Which at times causes confusion between the two sexes. If we take the time to learn how we communicate differently, then we can fully understand one another with no misunderstandings or confusion.
thank you for your comment.
