Here's a common misconception among Pleasant Hill couples: "my spouse should know how I feel." You figure that you been married for many years, know each other pretty well, and so naturally your partner knows your every mood! Right? But this is really just an excuse to avoid telling your spouse how you feel, probably because you're embarrassed or even ashamed about it.

The problem is that your spouse may well not know how you feel. He may have no clue! Men, especially, can be clueless at times (I can write this because I'm a man!) and not be tuned in to their wives' feelings.

So imagine this scenario: you're upset about something (let's say it's that you're not happy with how your husband treated your family). You assume that he knows you're upset. Yet he doesn't do anything about it: he doesn't apologize, he doesn't say he wants to talk about it, and he even seems to be avoiding the subject. Well, what if he doesn't even know you're upset? You're frustrated that he's not trying to make you feel better, but how can he, if he doesn't even know that you're feeling bad?

So, obviously, Pleasant Hill folks, you need to tell your spouse when you're upset about something. Just be sure you use good communication techniques.
