    How do you get someone to work on their communication in a relationship?

    Hmmm. That is quite the question.

    If your partner is unwilling to talk, the best thing I can think of is couples' therapy. However, if they don't want to talk, they may not follow through with said therapy.

    Sorry, that is the only thing I can think of. Other than honestly sitting them down and telling them how much it hurts not to be able to communicate clearly. Which I'm sure you have tried already.

    Hope someone with more experience will chime in here with some ideas.

    Good luck,

    Sebby

    Communication in relationship is a two way street. Both individuals must put the effort into talking with each other to sort out problems or concerns they have.

    If someone genuinely cares about you, they will naturally hear you out and want to help you find a solution. Where people go wrong is when someone assumes something, then there's miscommunication which usually leads to arguments.

    Just talk about it :slight_smile:
