Yeah, and I'm taking everyone's word here on how this communication is supposed to go because..... think


noway Oh yeah, we've all been so successful at relationships..... whoa


Why do you all think you are right? Maybe you should just do the opposite of your inclinations. Maybe I should, it'll probably work better.


Obviously relationships are not going to be successful if everyone's avoiding talking to each other for whatever reason. :tongue:

I'm a man, I'm never right! Well, according to some of my ex's.




It's not about gender. It's about anyone so convinced of their "rightness" that they keep repeating their mistakes.


But I never said I was right. I just said I'm honest to a fault.

Sometimes, silence is the best communicator, when you have nothing nice to say, say nothing at all. :wink:

I don't think this is an "I'm right, you're not" kind of thing at all.

communication is VERY important in a relationship (whether friends, romance, family, etc) but not everyone is on the same level of communicating for many reasons. I was very shy until i turned 18...now you can't shut me up lol. i wouldn't communicate about anything for my own reasons back then and i paid for it. people are better off with someone on the same level of communication or at least under the other person

And some women can talk a thing to death. It isn't all that complicated. They say what they mean not some underlying dig that we need to psycho analyze at every turn. When we realize that when a man says "Baby pass the remote" it means simply he is going to watch his game. Not, as we would think it, OMG what have I done that he doesn't want to talk and share and be with me yadda yadda yadda.

that is true especially when you are angry the wrong words can come out lol.... but doesnt mean you should never talk about the problem... for without talking about it , it can never be resolved, and relationships do take lots of effort on both sides

Exactly.

But what if only one party thinks there are issues? The other party is perfectly fine with things continuing how they are, what then?

Isn't that why it's better to be able to talk about things? Otherwise, one will wondering if something's wrong.

but you asked why men avoid confrontation....not why men can't have a conversation.



I believe it was clarified later in the thread by me and others.


yep you changed direction in mid thread then accuse the poster for their posts of not understanding

when you did not understand what you posted

if you did you would not have had to

but that's my question -

one person has a problem
the other does not

why drag me down with you and your problem (hypothetically speaking of course)

and the one with the problem is the one that starts the confrontation

and that is not the person not talking

Well, I explained what I meant, since some were not understanding.
