Some advice from eharmony.com
The five time you shouldn't talk to your partner from eHamony.com.
1)They're Not Ready To Talk. If your partner completely shuts down when you bring something up, don't force a conversation. Wait until they're ready to talk before you bring it up again!
2) You've said it before. There's something your partner does and you can't stand it...like chewing with their mouth open. But you've brought it up a million times and they keep doing it. Pick your battles.
3) They're being unreasonable. We're ALL guilty of this..and a conversation between you and your partner can get pretty heated if one of you simply refuses to see the other's point of view.
4) You don't have enough time. If you know you only have 10 minutes together, don't bring up a serious topic. Rushing things could lead to an argument, and that's worse than saying nothing at all.
5) You're both tired. When you're tired, you're irritable, less reasonable more defensive , and less patient.
