How To Talk To Your Man About A Sensitive Issue
HOW TO TALK TO YOUR MAN ABOUT A SENSITIVE ISSUE
We sometimes complain that the men don’t want to talk or listen. Here’s some things that could help.
WATCH YOUR TONE
When upset or frustrated, your tone could easily become sharp, harsh, condescending and full of coldness. A man doesn’t like engaging anyone with such a tone. Approach him with peace and the issue will be resolved in peace
TIMING
Straight after work is not the time for a deep talk. One is mentally and physically tired. Let him relax first, put his feet up and approach the subject at a good time
WATCH YOUR EYES
Men get repelled by condescending and mean eyes. I’m sure you would too
DON’T ENGAGE HIM WHEN HE IS DRUNK
If your man is they type that gets intoxicated, don’t bother yourself to talk serious issues. Wait till he is sober to have a meaningful talk
DON’T CONFRONT HIM IN FRONT OF YOUR CHILD(REN)
Infront of the kids be cordial, smile, show unity and when it’s just you and him, then talk about the issue
DON’T ACCUSE HIM FALSELY
Some women do this. However, this is the easiest way to make him feel attacked and to break the delicate fabric of trust between you two. Before you jump into conclusions, ask him questions politely. Talk with facts. Don’t interrogate, politely ask.
DON’T CAUSE A SCENE
A man loses respect for a woman who causes a scene in public or in front of family or friends
SOOTHE HIM
If you want to introduce a topic that has been bothering you, hold on to it. Prepare him his favourite meal, do things that make him feel good. While he is in a good mood, lovingly introduce the issue for discussion
BE IN CONTROL OF YOUR EMOTIONS
If the issue is heavy, be prepared for a conversation that will be heavy on your heart but remain calm and collected. Being frantic and delirious will not aid your cause.
NO INSULTS
Watch your tongue. Keep calm. Insulting him or parading his weaknesses and past mistakes will complicate things. You need him to know you are on the same team.
