What would you like to see changed? What's happening or not happening that is causing this desire for change?

Hello WhichWay: I see this is your first post here on PC. So... welcome to PsychCentral.
 I'm not sure if I understand what your concern is exactly. You mentioned your fiancé is a veteran. So I wondered if perhaps your fiancé might have PTSD based on his / her military experience & that's the concern, or if you're just looking for suggestions for how to improve your communications skills in general.  Anyway, here are links to a dozen articles, from PsychCentral's archives, on various topics related to communications within relationships. The first 2 are by our host Dr. John Grohol, Psy.D. Hopefully some of the ideas in these articles will be of some help: 9 Steps to Better Communication Today 5 Secrets to a Successful Long-Term Relationship or Marriage Good Communication in Marriage Starts with Respect Good Communication with Your Partner Marriage Communication: How Does It Work? https://psychcentral.com/lib/agreein...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/lib/the-10-...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/blog/differ...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/blog/how-no...dium=popular17 https://psychcentral.com/lib/11-hint...tations/?all=1 https://psychcentral.com/lib/relatio...s-of-marriage/ https://psychcentral.com/blog/6-ways...e-differently/ I hope you find PC to be of benefit. My best wishes to you & your fiance.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
