Dear Free Moon:

I understand your concern about arguing in your relationship.

You wrote: “When we talk on the phone and I can tell that he is stressed about something else, his tone of voice makes me feel like he’s not enjoying our conversation. I feel as if he is placing his discontentment on me which results to me getting frustrated, then we end up arguing.”-

I want to better understand, therefore I ask: what tone of voice is it? Do you feel frustrated whenever you don’t sense joy in his tone of voice, joy about talking to you? Can you give an example of an argument following his… wrong-to-you tone of voice (what he says, what you say, what he says in response, and so on, an argument starting and progressing)?
