If your husband misinterprets everything you say, it’s time to sit back and evaluate what could be the problem, rather than compounding the obvious misunderstanding with tantrums, anger and aggressiveness.

People have different points of view and how a person understands what you say, is usually affected by their own perspective, among other factors such as their predisposition, prejudices, education, experience, interests and general mental state.

Knowing this will let you understand how it could be that your husband misinterprets everything you say. But understanding the root of a problem is only the beginning of the solution.

Why your husband misinterprets everything you say

Several factors could lead to your husband misinterpreting everything you say. Below we take a look at some of the factors.

1. Miscommunication

What does it mean when your husband blames you for everything?

Communicating clearly a point to others is not the particular power of many people. Organizing your thoughts and speaking in a such a way that a person understands your perspective is an important communication skill everyone must learn.

If your husband misinterprets everything you say, perhaps, the point you’re making is not always clear to him due to how you communicate it. It’s hard to think that the fault could be coming from your side but remember, we’re looking for a solution not blame, so you have to start with the delivery of the message.

If the message isn’t delivered right, it’s more likely for your husband misinterpret everything you say. A good approach to getting your point across includes:

  1. Stating your point
  2. Giving reasons for your point
  3. Asking for the opinion of your husband.

2. Frustration or feud

Another reason why your husband misinterprets everything you say can be an unsettled feud, bottled up angst which is leading to a feeling of frustration. If your husband is harboring anger towards you for whatever reason, the frustration can make him more likely to misinterpret everything you say.

If this is the case, until the feud or cause of frustration is amicably settled, everything you say will only make them angrier. Their interpretation of everything you say while a feud is ongoing may be clouded by the anger. If such is the situation, you have to find out what the issue is and ensure that the underlining issue is settled.

A person is more likely to be agreeable and understanding when they’re not angry. Talk to your husband, find out if you did something wrong, apologize if need be and when the heart is calm, you’ll find your husband more understanding and agreeable so long as what you say makes sense.

3. Difference in perspective

Aside miscommunication and frustration, the problem could be that your husband misinterprets everything you say because you both have different perspectives on many matters. This problem usually arise when both of you were worlds apart in terms of upbringing when you met and ignored the thought process, upbringing and education of each other.

In such a situation, you believe your husband misinterprets everything you say, but to him, he understands you based on how he’s brought up or educated to understand issues. How you solve you solve such issues is to try to understand what accounts for the perspectives, then you both can learn, unlearn and relearn.

That is why it is important that during the courting or dating stage, you look out for compatibility points such as thought process and perspectives since these stay with a person their entire life, especially when they’re not willing to learn and unlearn some things.

Husband takes everything as criticism

If your husband takes everything as a criticism, several factors could be accounting for it and depending on the underlining issue, you can work towards a solution.

1. You criticize him a lot

If you’re fond of criticizing your husband more often than not, on days when your intention is not to criticize, it’s easier for him to mistake your words for criticism.

In order not to appear overly critical, you can put your objections and admonishments in a more polite form by passing them as suggestions. A person may become defensive and not take criticism lightly if not communicated well.

2. Inferiority complex

When a person has confidence issues, words tilting to the negative that comes their way is seen as criticism and is received with defensiveness. You have to know your husband, and if you realize this is the issue, you can always tweak your communication to ensure you’re not coming off as critical when that’s not what you intend.

3. Wrong tone

Speaking in the wrong tone can change the meaning of your words entirely. If you do not mean to be critical, you have to speak in a tone and choose your words carefully so it that doesn’t give the indication of anger, disappointment or make you sound critical. This way, you can communicate your points without sending the wrong signals.

Why does my husband complain about everything I do?

When you find your husband complaining about everything you do, there are factors such as frustration and anger that may be the cause or from other causes. It is important to determine what it is that is causing the frustration.

Some of the factors that could account for a husband complaining about everything you do include:

  1. Work related stress
  2. Frustration over repeated mistakes
  3. Overly grumpy persona
  4. depression

If you sense any of these to be the issue, you have to approach it appropriately to ensure that your husband misinterprets everything you say. Sometimes the only thing you can do is give him space to relax. Some people cannot deal with too many things at a time and may become defensive when such happen.

Conclusion

If your husband misinterprets everything you say, you will need to analyze the root cause rather than just complaining since it solves nothing. Solutions come naturally to cooler heads, so make sure you don’t respond with anger, but calmly find out what’s the cause for confusion and resolve that for a peaceful home.
