Millions of people everyday have a very difficult time expressing themselves. This can lead to the inability to sustain a normal health relationship. For men, they experience difficulty expressing themselves more often then women.
Poor communication skill can go unnoticed early in relationships. More attention is paid toward emotions and physical aspects of the relationship. However, experts have stated that communication is the key factor in building a strong and lasting relationship.
Men have always found it difficult to communicate; this dates back to prehistoric caveman days. Men have always been viewed as strong silent type who just got things done. Men have been preconditioned to this for centuries. Very few men express their feeling adequately and when they do, they are diminished somehow.
This is because of the preconditioning, if a man expresses himself, it is viewed as a sign of weakness. They feel that they are lowering themselves to a level where they do not want to be. To express themselves makes them feel uncomfortable.
Women on the other hand have no problem expressing themselves on every subject under the sun. They want their men to be able to do the same, and when they do not, then women feel under appreciated and taken for granted. Many women will not get involved with a man that cannot express himself adequately.
In order for men to create long and lasting relationships, they must be able to communicate how they feel to the women in their lives. Sentiment and romance are big issues to women. Truth and honesty is what women expect the most from men.
Both men and women need to make an effort to communicate with each other. However, there are times when in order to form a lifelong commitment, outside intervention is necessary to assist men in expressing themselves. Men and women must be able to communicate openly and honestly with each other on any subject. It is important though to respect each others opinions.
The one thing that is as crucial as speaking to each other is the ability to listen to each other. Men find this difficult because the often see things in black and white and having to listen to extend reasoning takes a lot of patience. After you have been together for a while, you will even get to know each others body language.
When you are in a relationship, you want to keep each other happy. Do not send signals that can be misconstrued. You can only have a meaningful conversation if both parties participate.
The one thing that men have found difficult to do throughout the centuries is to express their love. They feel that saying the words I love you is leaving them open and vulnerable. This is not always the case. Women love to hear it as much as theY love to say it.
Communication is the key part of a healthy relationship. This in turn will guarantee a life long commitment with years of happiness.

How long should I put up with a communication problem with husband before giving up the marriage?
I never cried as much as I do now before I got married and the worse part is even when I do cry it is ignored by my own husband.People that love you would be concerned with whats wrong, but not him.He doesnt even ask"whats wrong", he literally ignores me.I have spoken to him about our communication problems for the past 6 months now and nothing has really changed.I try to hold a conversation with him sometimes and its like hes not there.It seems as though things go wrong a day or so after we have sex.Its like a cycle, when he hasn’t had any we start getting close and have fun together which leads into making love a few days later but after that it seems like he barely wants to have anything to do with me.How can you be with someone whom you feel loves you only sometimes?How can your spouse ignore you when you are hurt?I have no children. I believe we married too soon,within 6 mos.I dont wnt to give up a marriage so easy but I dnt wnt to hve gray hairs at 23 either.Shld I call it quits?
Your too young to be in all this misery. Maybe he needs a reality check. Try a seperation.

Oww. Yes, it was too soon, but hindsight should only be used to inform future decisions. See if he will see a counselor with you. See one on your own, either way. The decision is yours, there is no formula to decide when the time is right to leave. But it seems you are just about to make the decision. Don’t worry about what anyone will say about this. Just do what you decide is the right thing for you.

I stayed too long
Yes explain why you no longer want to be with him and see if he is willing to change or be more concerned and if not than just tell him you want a divorce.

Honey let me tell you something right now! This man is emotionally blocked and you are going to be in that marriage alone. I have already lived this and now know that it was a waste of time, and further, he responds to the children the same way. No one can tell you to leave this marriage you make that decision for yourself or not at all, but I have to tell you that I wish I had thought it an option, at least! Living with a blocked person is no joke and in the end, you will realize it is a form of abuse. Take this seriously, and I wish you the very best.
