Too emotional to effectively communicate... 😔
Every time I want to talk to my husband about something, I am overly emotional and it affects my ability to effectively communicate my point. I start talking and end up crying, it’s ridiculous but I can’t help it, I’m just such an emotional person. My husband is the complete opposite. In 10 years, I’ve never once seen him cry, never once seen him open up emotionally about ANYTHING. It actually really bothers me. I want to talk to him about how he seems so unemotional, even with our newborn son. He grew up with a family who didn’t say “I love you” and I notice he doesn’t say it to our son, and it bothers me. I know he loves him... but I think it’s important to tell him. I joked about it with him the other day to keep it light and he said “that’s ridiculous, of course I love him”... and I know he does. But TELL HIM! his lack of emotional awareness drives me insane, but on the flip, my overly emotional state prohibits me from even communicating how I feel without crying, which then makes the whole convo a wash because i end up not getting my thoughts across enough for him to get where I’m coming from. And him being unemotional, makes my emotions seem even more over the top to him. Help! I need advice on how to be a better communicator and get my thoughts across without being overly emotional. And how to communicate with someone who literally does not emote. I feel stuck and I’m worried these communication issues will eventually kill our marriage. Btw.. my husband does not thing we have communication issues... I 1000% do.
