My husband and I have terrible communication. We misinterpret each other and leap to the wrong conclusions. I get hurt. He tends to get angry. We are in the early stages of divorce. We are trying to learn to communicate better so that we can co-parent better once we are split up.

I read somewhere, that women do talk more in the typical relationship and like to talk about "meaningful" things with the husband to create more emotional intimacy and bonding. Many men see such efforts as whining and complaining by the wife. Like two ships passing in the night. (big generalizations, I know)
