I saw this on yahoo and thought, maybe I would try some of these phrases to help me & the misses better communicate when attitudes show up:
Please try to understand my point of view-I've never used this one
Wait, can I take that back?-I've never used this one, but it sounds good
You don’t have to solve this—it helps me just to talk to you.-this one is something that needs to be said.
This is important to me. Please listen.-Heard this one before
I overreacted, I’m sorry.-One I should probably say
I see you’re in a tough position.-I've never used this one
I can see my part in this.-I've never used this one, it's typically not her fault
I hadn’t thought of it that way before.-I've used this one, it works pretty good. Especially when you really mean it!
I could be wrong.-I say this one often
Let’s agree to disagree on that.-haven't tried this one
This isn’t just your problem, it’s our problem.-This might earn major brownie points!
I’m feeling unappreciated.-I've never used this one
We’re getting off the subject.-I've never used this one
You’ve convinced me.-or this one
Please keep talking to me.-a favorite of mine
I realize it's not your fault.-this one goes without saying
That came out all wrong.-yeah, used that one...it helps
I see how I contributed to the problem.-another one that goes without saying
What are we really fighting about?-this one helps the most. If you're not sure, ask. If you get lost, ask. She might be mad, but hit her with a "I'm just trying to make sure I stay on the same page so I can better understand what you are saying"
How can I make things better? I've heard it, said it, and still it's a toss up!
I’m sorry.- Now, this one deserves it's on blog.....
I love you.-She's glad you love her, but if you don't understand her, your love is like an empty toilet bowl! If you don't understand the sh*t she's saying, then it really doesn't matter! No pun intended....
