I did tell him I did not like to communicate with him when he was being critical and scornful. Both of us were guilty of not communicating effectively. I realize that now, so does he. And, we are past that now and are communicating effectively.
"Listening and responding carefully", "not taking offense" -- yep, we're we there. We've talked more in the past 4 months than we have in the past 4 years. Just wish it had happened two years ago.
