What are some common negative communication patterns?

Negative communication patterns can really destroy a good conversation, so let me show you some negative communication patterns. One is laboring your point, going on and on and never letting your partner get a word in edgeways - in a way overwhelming the conversation. Another is becoming very critical of your partner, blaming your partner, discounting your partner. These things are never going to work. Stomping out of the room and making all this fuss doesn't work; it is a real negative communication pattern. Leaning away, crossing your arms, crossing your legs and looking very disinterested or bored are bad communication patterns in marriage communications.
