Excerpt
"Men definitely want a woman by their side who has their best interest at heart. However, there is a fine line between having someone's best interest at heart and aggressively forcing your agenda on someone. If a man has made it abundantly clear, in his actions if not his words, that the topic you've decided is crucial enough to revisit countless times means nothing to him, give up. He is not ready to deal with it. He might not say that in so many words, but key into his non-verbal clues. If he seems to shut down completely when you bring up a subject matter then maybe you should back away a bit.
If it's something that you can't put off, try a different tactic. Draw him out by beginning the conversation with a question... Nobody likes to feel as though they are being spoken at, rather than being spoken to; and a question makes it clear that you really want to hear his thoughts."
