What would you like to see changed? What's happening or not happening that is causing this desire for change?

Hello WhichWay: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral. I'm not sure if I understand what your concern is exactly. You mentioned your fiancé is a veteran. So I wondered if perhaps your fiancé might have PTSD based on his / her military experience & that's the concern, or if you're just looking for suggestions for how to improve your communications skills in general.

Anyway, here are links to a dozen articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on various topics related to communications within relationships. The first 2 are by our host Dr. John Grohol, Psy.D. Hopefully some of the ideas in these articles will be of some help:
