He forgets ever having the discussions though. For him, once they are over, they are over and no need to touch base on them. He doens't practice what he preaches in other words. If I stop applying MYSELF though to the areas he has pointed out I have problems with...well, I am just "wierding" out on him again and being a typical female.

He is currently attending the Dale Carnegie course "How to Win Friends and Influence People". Maybe he'll learn some better communication skills from that? Now whether he will apply them to us or not is a different story
