Have you ever felt like having to “walk on eggshells” around your partner? (Page 2)

a couple of days ago i tried telling my s. o. that a few photos of hers didn't look good because of a bad wig and outfit a couple of people picked out for her and where some photos of hers were taken weren't in a good spot. i tried to be as delicate with her as i could because they weren't good photos or outfits and whoever decided that should of been terminated from doing them

Yeah it sucks but I’m hanging in there.

Oh and how did your s. o. react?

ballbusting as usual

[Asker]

Ugh that’s rough, I hope things get better for the two of you. Good luck!

A few thoughts to improve your relationship and I learned some of this from my wife. My wife is very easy going, but still... I've made mistakes in communicating and I can give examples if you like.

Say things with love. Love is a positive energy. Some women, and at certain times especially... cannot handle a negative... it sucks them down fast, especially from those closest to them. They may takeit from a friend, but not you. Especially true when their hurting or hormones are off.
So, rephrase with positives, but get your point across being true to yourself. You do have to tread carefully at times (of the month), if that's related. That's women... also some personalities.
ex. "you are beautiful, you made her look like a photographer! I'd love to see you in that other color outfit, what you think? lets go try on some clothes this weekend for fun.". No woman complains about having fun... adjust for your woman.

Yep, it’s miserable

[Asker]

Yeah it sucks…

If you’re not tied down, leave

[Asker]

I’m really considering leaving, but I’m gonna try to talk to him first and see if makes an attempt to change

[Charliefretz329]

Marriage and kids are permanent decisions. People change temporarily and then revert back. Don’t ever ask someone to change for you. Find someone who matches you in their natural state. Trust me

[Asker]

That’s all very true, good advice. Thank you!!
