Lol at the touchscreen bit. I understand how asking for and expecting better communication could be seen as controlling. The big thing I've learned through this process is that my wife and I need to find who we are and part of that is determining things we like and dislike, things we will tolerate and non-negotiables. For me, better communication is a non-negotiable. It either happens or our relationship will forever be strained. My wife will have her own list of non-negotiables too and that's fine. Don't get me wrong, I know I have to improve my communication as well. It's going to be a huge red flag in any future relationship if I can't communicate effectively with my partner.
