marriage help: So lately, my husband winces when I talk. - Help.com

Tell him you love him and see if he winces at that. :)

Also, for this kind of thing, you should really just tell him how you feel and see what he says, as only he’s the only one that knows why he might do that

i doubt he thinks you’re “inane”, otherwise he wouldn’t have married you & your relationship wouldn’t be as successful as it is. if he keeps complaining about the loudness of your voice, maybe you should be a bit more concious about using your inside voice… my roomate starts to speak really loudly when she gets excited about something, and sometimes it comes off as obnoxious. it actually makes me wince too. it’s not what she is saying that’s annoying, it’s her decibal level. i’m still working on trying to help her out in that department but we’ll see… lol

I bet that there is stress somewhere else in his life, and he may not feel as patient with you as he normally does. Does he have a few minutes by himself to destress after work? (I know, tough to do with toddlers in the house!I

When I was much younger, I had the same kind of problem. When ever anyone said anything to me, I would wince or even start to back away. After awhile, my family decided to get me medically tested. It turned out that I had a magnesium deficiency. It can cause undue stress and hypersensitivity to any noise, but is fortunately treatable by supplements that you can get and any drug store (nonprescription). For the wikipedia artical try http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnesiu…. Good luck!

my husband reacts in a way i don’t like too. That’s probably not too helpfull but its a family thing i think and i have a different type personality than most of his family.
