My Hurt Feelings
Find a Conversation

I've been married for almost 3 months. I love my wife and I'm glad we're together. We have always had a hard time communicating. I'm the type who likes to share what they feel, think and need. My wife is the quiet type who closes up when she is stressed and then takes it out on me later.
I love doing things for her. When she asks me to get her some water, her contacts, clothes from the dryer, stuff from the car etc. I am more then willing to do it. I serve her b/c I love her. When I ask her for some help with things she huffs and puffs and grumbles. Most of the time she will get out of doing it b/c of her reaction.
What do I do to help her communicate what she feels,wants and needs? And at the same time not have her feel that I am attacking her when I tell her what I need, feel and want in the relationship?

Welcome to the board azmesa,
Sounds like you show love with Acts of Service and you might benefit from the book Five Love Langagues, by Gary Chapman.
