That's really hard when you see what she needs to do, but you can, and you know where you get the power to do be able to keep silent. I think that will get positive results quicker than the other way.
If you present a "quiet spirit" to her, then I believe she will begin to relax more and feel that she can open up to you about things. It's important that you not come across as pouting or sulled.
I used to think that being a good listener was a gift, but now I believe it is a learned skill. You can do it Habit! I don't mean that as "fluff".....I mean you can do it!
It is not about what you feel should work in your M. It is about doing the work that gets the right results. Do what works!
