Way to Listen, Bro! - Effective Communication Part 2

Ever been accused of Never Listening? Maybe by your wife, girlfriend or partner? Are you a little sick and tired of hearing those words? What if you have you have a partner that goes on, and on, and on forever and ever, never getting to the freaking point? Sometimes these situations go hand in hand.

I was in a relationship with a guy who loved to talk. He would come home from work and blather on for what seemed like hour going over every detail he could think of about his day and the issues he’d had. It got to the point where I would get a tightening in my chest whenever he would begin a conversation.

The problem was not on his end, it was on mine. At that point in my life, I was incapable of effective communication including listening and making others heard.

However, with personal growth, some patience and a lot of practice I slowly began to improve and my relationships began to grow stronger.

Not to mention using these techniques has taken a lot of stress off my plate. Life is more peaceful. And isn’t that ultimately what every guy is looking for?
