Have you tried communicating by writing? My H and I don't do this often, but it tends to help you stay focused on the topic instead of chasing rabbits. Also you might try having talks in a neutral setting - away from home. Where you try to maintain a level of politeness because of others being nearby. No need to disturb the whole park or restaurant with a fire and brimstone conversation, but if you can maintain a better civility by being watched then it might work for you...

All the big serious R and M conversations between WH and I have been via e-mail. This way we can say what needs to be said without becoming overly emotional. We can take our time and say what we mean.
