    Thanks Abby! Your point about empathizing the emotion, but changing the tone feels like an excellent tool to utilize.

    Its weird, i went from "oh dang, yup, she talking to the robot behind my cameras" to "this is my partner" to "ive done that, and she never has answers"

    In my opinion if they won't listen then when they mess up don't look to me for help. Im done giving advice to others.

      You are right on. I say all the time that you shouldn’t “SAC” your relationship: Don’t offer Suggestions, give Advice, or Criticize. It doesn’t help any relationship: it’s about listening and asking questions to help the people we love find their own good solutions. :)

    Great video! I especially appreciate the suggested questions to create connection in the end of the video. I find that people know what they need and what they need to do, but they just need to be heard. Also the “aha” moment only happens when they feel heard. I’m gonna use these tips to listen to myself, i would love to have more “aha” moments and all i need is to empathize with myself. ❤️

    I have a question, ill give you an example of how I do not feel heard in the relationship and this has been going on for years, I am feeling the need to move on, anyways umm my girlfriend goes in the room starts to get all the dirty laundry clothes and I am still in bed at that time so I say to her half asleep myself leave it there ill put it in the washer dont worry, I kept repeating that many times and she still put all the clothes in herself. Once I was up I told her I was repeating to you not to put the washer, her answer was I had already put in some clothes I said u could have turn it off now i have my pajamas dirty and why would i want to just put 1 washer for only 1 pair of pajamas? She was like ooooh okay no problem. I am at the point of getting sick and tired of her, I feel like leaving her, this is a constant thing her not giving a shit (listening) Give me some advice please.

      I would start with asking questions instead of making statements. Telling her over and over does nothing (as you've seen). Instead, ask things like, "Tell me more about how you're thinking when I ask you to wait with the laundry." or "Tell me how you feel right now as we discuss this" or "How do you think I feel when I ask something and you don't acknowledge it?" Get to the real reason she's not listening.

      @@AbbyMedcalfThriving In your expertise why do you feel people don't listen to someone repeating something to them or when they are asked something that it is important to that person they will not follow what is asked? I am very puzzled as to why.
