Tonight, my wife and I had yet another argument over an issue that has plagued us repeatedly. We have never come to any conclusion. I hate talking about this issue, because I’m always wrong. If I offer a solution, she criticizes it. So I just zone out and wait for her to stop. She continues to poke and complain until I just can’t handle it anymore. If we don’t find a resolution to this particular issue, we are going to find ourselves with some big financial problems, and I’m afraid it will break us. Do you have any suggestions for effective dialogue on chronic issues?
