Communicate Better can save relationship.  If you think that you and your girlfriend do not communicate well, it is time to change your approach. You should be able to express what you feel, and be heard and understood. You should watch out for these signs of communication failure, right from the early stages of your relationship:

       1. Do you get vague replies to your queries? If you try to get more information, you only end up being more confused. As time goes on, you feel more like an interrogator than a partner.

      2. Does your partner avoid talking to you, especially about uncomfortable topics? Does he or she try to change the topic during the conversation?

      3. Do you or your partner find it difficult to tell each other your needs? Is it just assumed that you “know” what the other person requires? If you are in such a situation, it indicates lack of responsibility from either partner.

      4. Does your partner simply retreat from a discussion? Does he or she start sulking if you have a disagreement?

      5.Do you feel that your partner is not taking you or your views seriously? Is the other person trying to make a joke of whatever you say? You might not find the joke funny at all, leading to a quarrel.
