I love my husband dearly. But there are things that I don't know how to help him with. He doesn't sleep well, he can't relax, he's constantly complaining of a sore back, and he over reacts to my being passive. His mind races all the time and he talks very quickly and complains when I talk just as quickly.
I have my own faults too, so don't think i'm just up here complaining. I do talk too fast. I don't enunciate like I should. My grammar is horrible when speaking and I trail off if I don't have my thought ready. Sometimes I have my argument up and ready before he's done talking. I don't mean to but I tend to interrupt a lot. He get so frustrated when I keep saying I will work on these things I will do better and it doesn't happen. My intentions are good but how do I really practice not interrupting other than not talk till i KNOW he's done talking?
Maybe I am complaining a little.
Anyway, my point is that I need some strategies on how to help him relax without medication and get him to slow down. That's a huge problem with us both. We don't slow down, I can't keep my words straight and he can't keep his thoughts peaceful.
Any thoughts?
