Theres A Time For Everything Including This

Posted by admin on 14 January 2009

Have you ever been in the uncomfortable situation where someone was being criticized by someone else, maybe their spouse or their boss and you happened to be in the same environment at the time? Maybe you were in an elevator, out shopping or at a social gathering. Either way, you couldn’t get out of the uncomfortable environment quick enough.

Some people can “speak their mind” without a moment’s hesitation in front of other people. Criticism like this is damaging and in a relationship it’s probably the quickest way people get really pevved off with each other.

I’ve observed on many occasions when out shopping that some men hang outside the stores in malls when their partners go in to shop for things. When you overhear the open criticism that some hot-headed partners (no offence to women because men do it too) throw at their men-friends you’ll understand why.

Even though these scenes are embarrassing to witness, they have helped serve as constant reminders that there’s a time and place for criticism because choosing the wrong time and place is hurtful and plain pointless.

To maintain a great relationship with your partner and to be able to communicate better, it helps to be very aware of where and when you open your mouth to say something critical to your partner. If you’ve not been sensitive to this before and you seem to have struggled in your relationship (Hint: Did they by any chance mention anything to you about your criticism?) this may just be the solution you need to get your ex back or repair broken fences.

When you feel the need to give make a criticism of your partner, your goal if you want to be successful should be to have them listen fully to what you’re saying, get aware of what they’re doing and then make the necessary changes.

If you give a criticism at the wrong place or the wrong time you’ll totally defeat the purpose and only succeed in pushing them further away from your love an into the arms of someone who they fell respects them.
