writes:Hello I would like advice on how to get my husband to stop cutting me off when i talk. I don't know if he does this on purpose but i have told him that he does it to people and he said he would work on it. He will cut me off in the middle of talking just so he can say what he wants to say as if i was not talking at all. If i ask him a question he will answer it before i have even finished asking and most of the time the answer makes no sense because he had no idea what i was trying to ask. Its really getting on my nerves and I need help bring up this topic again without sounding mean. Reply to this Question

I've heard what you had to say not let me do the same."Do this until he learn to stop interrupting you. It is very important that you state that he stop what he is doing and what it is that you would like him to do. This technique is also helpful whenever you are finding someone doing something that do not want to tolerate any longer. Eg. telephone solicitors.
