How to Develop Better Communication With My Boyfriend
- 1). Stop texting or emailing with your boyfriend. Pick up the phone and call him instead. Talking is more personal and an easier way to communicate. Ideas can be taken out of context in a text or email and cause fights or misunderstandings. Over the phone, you can hear the emotion and tone in your boyfriend's voice, or you can ask questions if something is unclear.
- 2). Ask your boyfriend questions when something is troubling you, and don't just assume things when it comes to him. It's important to talk about things instead of jumping to conclusions. Use a calm tone, and avoid getting angry without knowing all of the details.
- 3). Talk to your boyfriend about the importance of being honest. Explain that honesty may not always make you happy, but it is important so that you can trust him. Lies will cause you to question everything in your relationship.
- 4). Set aside a weekly date night for you and your boyfriend to spend time together. When you schedule date nights, you will have a definite time that you can talk each week. This should work even for the busiest couple.
