Close relationship

In reading the article “Close Relationships Sometimes Mask Poor Communication” I was intrigued by the information that was given, the article touched on some important issues People who have close relationships often find that they feel as if they communicate with one another better than they actually do. Because they spend such a great amount of time together, they can become connected to one another, and not take the time to truly think about, and consider the feelings or thoughts that may be running through the other person’s mind. Your spouse expects you to understand them better than anyone else, but the statistics show that accuracy rates between couples and complete strangers are different but similar. This leads researchers to believe that due to the familiarity that occurs within households, and between people of intimate relations, a misunderstanding of communication begins to develop that many of us miss, or do not want to realize exists. It is easier and possibly more conducive to our relationships and our lives to believe that we always understand what our spouse is thinking. Take for instance the couple that has been happily married for fifty years, they will tell you that they read each others thoughts and that they are on the “same wavelength”. While, this may be true some often time, it is not true all of the time, and believing that it is can cause people to miss out on the subtle cues and other inferences that may occur from their spouse that they are unaware of. I see this happen very often in my household. My parnter and I see to miscommunicate much more lately than I would like to see, and it can be very hurtful, and damaging to the relationship. Me and my parnter sometimes have poor communication skills not all the time. But when we do have the poor communication it can get bad. We have been together for the past two years, and we still have a problem commutating. He likes to take over the conversation, and cut me off when we are talking. I on the other hand feel’s like he is talking at me not to me, or he is making me feel like I don’t have a clue on what it going on. Now he says that I read to much into his facials expressions and the tone of his voice. He also thinks that I am trying to flip his words. In the future I want to be a better communicator with my partner and I hope that we can understand each other better and won 't want to hurt each other, or make him feel as if I am not listening to and trying to take what he is saying into consideration.
