My Husband, the Poor Messenger​

I’ve realized that my husband is the main reason for some of the conflicts between me and my mother-in-law—his communication skills are just too lacking. For example, my mother-in-law once mentioned that I’ve been busy with work and sometimes can’t wash my clothes on time. She asked him to check if I needed her help. But instead of relaying the message properly, he told me, “Mom said you’re not washing your clothes, so she’s going to do it for you.” This kind of miscommunication really frustrates me. It’s not just about the words—it’s about how they’re delivered. A little tact and understanding could make such a big difference. Has anyone else dealt with a husband who struggles with this? How do you handle it? #MarriageLife #CommunicationIssues #FamilyDynamics #HusbandResponsibility #Miscommunication
