Step #3: In conflict, give him time to process.
If we work with the way our man is wired, we’ll be far happier—and he will be, too. This may mean giving him time and space to process his thoughts during an argument.
In fact, you man’s jaw might drop to the floor if, in the middle of a conflict, you said something like: “I want to keep talking about this, but would it help you to take a break and do something else before we talk some more?”
Pro tip: show your man my recent blog about what you probably need—so he knows what to do before he withdraws!
