… How do I talk to my partner to resolve any issues if he just shuts down? I am a very open & honest person & if I feel something is not right, I say so. I am conscious that I need to use a calm approach with my partner, but it is very difficult to improve on things if the other person is unwilling to participate. He accuses me of being confrontational, when I am very calm in my approach, or tells me what I am thinking. Ie..”You’re only doing this because of xyz”. He or no-one else knows what I am thinking or feeling.
