Communication Problems • auroracaroline • 2d ago

My husband [28M] and I [27F] are having difficulties with task management and communication. Is there a way to improve this?

Hello everyone, I'm seeking advice on how to manage tasks and communication within my relationship. Here's some context: I’m a 28-year-old man currently studying abroad, while my wife, who is 27, is working in Canada to support my education. She is very caring towards my family, and they adore her in return. She is also an independent individual with considerable work experience from our home country. Lately, we've been facing some challenges regarding small tasks and the sharing of advice. For instance, prior to my arrival in Canada, I reminded her several times—probably around 20—to contact her manager for a Job Experience letter. It took her two weeks to finally make that call. She has acknowledged that she tends to procrastinate. When I follow up on these tasks, she often feels overwhelmed and expresses that I’m adding too much pressure. She also points out that she doesn’t assign me tasks or offer me advice. I’m a bit perplexed about whether I should allow her to handle things at her own pace or if I should guide her decisions as we plan for our future. Ultimately, I find myself questioning the essence of our partnership when we both have the freedom to make our own decisions. What does that mean for our relationship as husband and wife?
