I cannot get my husband to understand this...it's a major issue. He says one thing, yet acts another. And then I tell him how I feel, and he takes it as an attack and says I need to listen and just trust what he says and quit assuming things. He can't seem to understand that I'm just telling him how I feel, I'm not trying to say he is doing anything intentionally. He just always believes I'm attacking him. Saying, "The way you're acting makes me feel like you don't care." To him is me saying, "Well, you just don't care." He can't seem to understand the difference.
