Have you ever been in this situation before?
You and your s/o, roommate, person of interest, etc. are sitting there talking about an important issue that needs to be resolved, there are good points that you’re making and surely the other person is also making good points but it seems like the conversation is going nowhere. It feels like every time you drag out your excellent point which should put everything into perspective and make them understand, they just rehash their same points or bring what they believe will be the “winning blow” of the argument.
Congrats, you’ve now become entrapped in an argument loop that will surely go nowhere over the course of the talk. This happens more than you know. In fact, it seems as if this is the primary mode of communication for some people. It might be a bit more of a widespread and endemic problem than we’d like to think.
Are you even listening?!
There are few things that will kill a relationship faster than an inability to listen or comprehend what your significant other is saying. The fix is in. Its active listening. Actively listen to this!
