7 Signs Your Relationship Has a Communication Problem (3 of 4)

Constantly complaining

If you are somebody who is taking issue with every single thing that your partner is doing, or always complaining about how everything is unfair and you’re getting a raw deal, why would your girlfriend/boyfriend/spouse have any interest in correcting their behavior or offering you their support? If your partner does something that legitimately bothers you, help them by being part of the solution. Likewise, if you’re having a bad day and venting makes you feel better, that’s fine. But then you need to take a step back and ask yourself what are you going to do about it and what can you do to get your partner’s help?

Ignoring your partner

When your partner expresses a genuine concern, especially when they are being mature and direct about it, simply ignoring it signifies that you don’t care how they feel. There might be times when you are legitimately busy and can’t necessarily deal with a problem at that moment, but it is important to set aside time to listen to them and do your part to discuss the issue and offer solutions.
