What do you do in a relationship if communication isn’t leading to change?

We are communicating about the current issues in our relationship but nothing is changing. I’m getting tired of feeling like everything goes in one ear and out the other. I just want to stop talking and caring because its exhausting.
We have a child together.

You cannot change someone if they do not want to change. The only thing you can control is your reaction to that person. Try reacting in a different manner – you may be surprised at the result!

    If you are not married move on. This person is not the one for you. If you are married, seek marriage counseling even if your partner won’t go.

    You’re looking for someone to tell you that "it’s best if you dump your partner!" Perhaps their not good at communication. Just take a deep breath & count to ten. The grass isn’t always greener. But maybe they aren’t pulling their weight in the relationship. Don’t know need more info.

    Well, it could be any or all of the following:

    You all communicate yet do not really communicate. One of both of you do not really explain, help the other understand or get the point of what the other is saying, feeling and why. Maybe one of both of you is either bull headed or stubborn or wants to try to run everything.

    Maybe one of both of you is unrealistic. For example, one of you could talk each day about one of you wanting to have another person join you all in the bedroom. Nothing happens to bring that about so of course, the person who wants it says no progress is being made. Guess what, it sort of depends upon what the issues are. I mean, maybe the person who says no progress is being made is not getting their way or even worse, is wrong in what they are wanting. In some cases, it would not matter if you asked me for the same thing every day for ten years, I would not give in, not give way and would not even discuss it with you after the first time.

    Maybe one of each of you is far less commited.
