Communication Problems

My husband and I have been married for nearly 3 months and are already having problems. Last night we fought about how I do not talk to him,. He says when he comes in and sees me on the phone or computer he feels that I am ignoring him and when he trys to talk to me I do not start a conversation but he does the same thing!

    If you really are ignoring him that is an issue, if he wants you to jump up all 50's style to greet him at the door

  • All marriages have their ups and downs. Try to work out all issues as soon as you spot them. If you do not talk in time, the little tings become huge. So, be confident that you can talk honestly and do it. My suggestion is bring up the subject when no one
