Masculine communication
Hello men!
I am experiencing a shift in the power dynamic in my relationship, not for the better, she is clearly becoming more controlling, argumentative and disagreeable.
Besides doing the inner work on myself, I have thought about how I am communicating to her that might enable this behavior and gives her the "opportunity" to be disagreeable and combative.
I am pretty sure I am doing something wrong by asking questions instead of making statements.
Also, I think many times I bring my approval seeking behaviour into the conversation, which comes of as weak. Especially when I question her behaviour when I am feeling disrespected. Putting her in a unwanted leadership role.
It goes all the way from talking back to me and need to have the last word, to giving instructions on which direction we should walk on the street. I am doing my best to not be reactive, but it is disturbing me.
How do you guys think about the framework of how to communicate with your woman? Because I think her behaviour is reflecting my lack of certanty and direction.
Not a clear question, but I am opening up a discussion about how to communicate in a way that conveys certanty and to not make every interaction into a debate where she feels like she has speak her truth.
