My husband is my everything. I love him more than life. But whenever I want to talk, he tells me that I talk too much. And he doesn't listen like my sister does. How can I teach him how to listen better?
One thing women have to learn is that their boyfriends and husbands are never going to be their girlfriend. Men and women are literally wired differently biologically and thus communicate differently to have a satisfying conversation. Many women do complain that their husbands become Mr. Fix-it when they are facing a dilemma. Asking him to change this is perfectly reasonable. Tell him you wish for him to just listen and afterwards, to validate your feelings. Let him know that when you're ready to find a solution you will let him know. Beyond that, if you just want to chat for hours on end, you may be better off calling your sister or your girlfriends.
