Are you satisfied with the quality of communication between you and your romantic partner?

[Yack]

Some explanation..I filled out a marital satisfaction quiz and I was stuck on this question...I was wondering if it was just me...? I answered no!

[meander]

I think so, we both are of the never stop talking variety. But then of course, one can talk a lot without saying anything...

Don't really have a romantic partner at this time. My ex and I had a gap in communication that grew larger and larger each year. So the answer would be no there...

I'll just simply say good assertive communication is essential in any relationship. (I was passive and my ex was on the fine line of assertive and aggressive at the time the gap grew very large I found that it was very aggressive.)

I voted yes even though I am not entirely sure sometimes. On the whole though, I am fortunate that hubby and I communicate well - at least on a day to day basis.

[Yack]

I feel that way too, like I am not sure sometimes. My boyfriend doesn't talk that much.

The question from the quiz referred to "problem-solving communication" and "communication in "non-conflict situations".

[Sabrina]

Problem solving communication might be a question mark (especially related to my "issues") but thankfully hubby & I have really good communication in non-conflict situations.

Thanks for sharing!

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)

No offence on the the generalization...

You are not alone in misinterpreting...I have found co-parenting much easier in separate houses.
