You have identified the problem and now you are ready to fix it. However, your significant other doesn’t think it needs fixing.
Here is a fun video which probably sums up a majority of the communication problems in our relationships. No matter if you are dating, a newlywed, or have been married for years, this video probably “hits the nail on the head” in your relationship! 😉

Learn to shut everything off. I used to feel that I had to know everything the minute that it happened, so I would be on my phone all day and checking email constantly. I had to learn that things will be there later and to only do that at certain predetermined times in the day. Love the video. Have heard about it from other people and this made me take a look. Funny stuff! Thanks, Jackie.

LOL! That is funny! But it is soooooo true. LOL!
