Learning to understand women

She does something you don't like. For example, she keeps mentioning her ex when she's in bed with you. You feel awkward, but say nothing because if you say something, you're afraid you'll make the situation even more awkward. How to let her know that you don't like this?

The natural response to this question will vary from person to person, but there is a "common pathway" that will work for most people.

That is: If you want to say something that you don't like about your partner, don't do it in the bed, don't do it during a busy day. You have to find a time when both of you are reasonably comfortable in your own privacy, and have enough energy to discuss something unpleasant.

A very common mistake is to just not say anything and wait for too long, and then burst open all of a sudden. Therefore it's important to let her know as soon as the situation is comfortable, because you have to be sure she's listening.

Summary: If there is a disagreement, you have to let your partner know at a comfortable time. Don't wait too long or the pressure will build up within, and it may burst open suddenly.
