How do you tell someone that you don't think their plan is going to work?

That is really a tough you got into. Have you tried to talk to him, if the business is feasible before jump into that venture. Try to talk to him, if it is not possible. Then, go for other options.

You can just do something that you know always makes him happy you could prepare his favorite me or something like that once you see he is in a happy mood you can easyly take some sense into head and make him see reasons and try to convice him

I don't think that anyone in business wants to hear that their plan of action is not going to work. all you can really do in this situation is to be hineast and straightforward about this person's business and hopes of its success or failure.

If you think he's not going to listen to you, then you should find someone to whom he'll listen to for a verbal warning. It's true that it's really difficult to talk to our partner when they're already set on doing or buying something. But your instinct plays a major role when one of you is making a big decision that will affect the family and it's finances. When we were planning on buying a second car, I told my hubby I wanted a small car since my office is within city proper and it's not wise that I'm using a big car. He is working in another province and his travel to office takes about an hour and a half. He travels in mini bus coz it's cheaper and more convenient for him to sleep on the bus instead of driving himself. So while we were planning on which car to choose, he started browsing the net looking for best buys. One day he just turned to me and said, he already found a good buy. It's a Suzuki Jimny, old model- really cute and looked durable, but I thought it was too old already to not have prolems on the maintenance. Our car os a 2007 model and we did not have any maintenance concern since we bought it two years ago. Though I really felt it wasn't a good buy, I couldn't reason out anything to him except that I think it's too old already and we might have problems in the future maintaining it. I said we can opt to wait until we have more money for the car that we will buy and choose another car, a newer model perhaps. I couldn't bend his decision and did not insist further. Now, after three months of using the car, he also wants it disposed already. Unfortunately, the papers were not that complete and even though a lot of online buyers are asking for it, we can't sell it because we don't have the custom papers. Now I'm sad that I did not try to talk him out of his decision when I already felt on instinct that it wasn't a good one. =(

Look...sometimes you can very well convince someone to understand your point of view. But sometimes people just gets stick to their point to prove that they are the only right person. In that case, its better to give just a suggestion and then observe what will be his/her reaction when he/ she will get the result. Best of luck!!!

Since you are already married, it would be better for the both of you to discuss things with regards to this matter. Although there were times we misunderstood each other but at least you've been honest with yourself. Try to tell the truth and explain your side in a nice way which is not offensive. Discuss things together and try to further elaborate the pros and cons of the plan.

The situation is you have to move out of your present house as required by landlord. I think here as in Canada landlord can ask for possession at short notice like this and the tenant has to move. You will find one. But regarding moving out --I suggest you go to the place of work -- travelling every day 5 hours up and down is meaningless--causes strain on body and mind --even a small slip on the way one day can cause difficulties --i am not elaborating on this point. be positive. you will get alternative accommodation in the new place good day.

You seem more concerned about the house than money spent on a business so assuming you are leaving those decisions to your husband. If he makes a mistake he may have to carry the burden later on or on the other hand the business could be a success. As far as the house is concerned you do have some time to find something you like. Maybe search out the possibilities over the next week going full tilt and then say something shocking if there isn't anything suitable? You need a place to live and renting a motel is very costly venture even if it is a business expense.

I think that when it comes to situations like this and you can clearly see that it's not going to work, you should be honest and say your opinion. Your husband might still want to do this important move and buy the business but you will know that you tried. In any case, he will appreciate that you are honest with him. It's also good to let him know that you will support him with whatever he decides, even if you have a different opinion!

Lots of men thinks that their wives don't know better, and yet we are the other half and are suppose to work together at the same level in things, yes the man has the last word but that doesn't mean that they are always right and are making always the right decision, so if he doesn't listen to you well then he will probably listen to his grand ma or who ever he usually open his ears to, he should respect your opinion.

ow thats not easy thing to do as you are in complicated situation. Try to discuss with him about what you both want in the future for better life. Explain to him all your thought and do listen to his thought. Don't talk like you are going to stopping him. Just find the right word that make her thinking about what struggle you have.

I have a friend who resorts to tears and guilty tactics when she can't get through her husband. And I don't think her way is right because if it does anything, is it just agitates the situation. If he has already made up his mind, then I think no amount of talking on your part will ever change it. But then, you can ask the right and crucial questions. You can say like, you will support him in whatever his endeavor is, but ask him his plans about everything. He's got to have plans or even answers. Do not let him put it off or give you any answer other than a specific one. That way, he wouldn't feel like his decision is being "questioned", but it will also sort of steer his mind to things that really matter.

You're in a very tough time right now and what I can suggest is first clear your mind of anything, just breathe for a second then focus on the problem at hand. Before you talk to your husband you must be ready to whatever he has to say, whether good or bad. You can lay your cards but don't sound that you're insisting on whatever idea you have in mind. This is the time where you two should be listening, and I mean really listening, to whatever one has to say. Weigh out each options then make up a decision. Time is not really on your side right now so you have to make a decision and stick with it. Whatever the outcome is, it's best not to blame each other. Besides, both of you should be in this together to make it work. Also, don't forget to pray. Good luck!

There are times in our lives that we find it hard to decide on something especially when both of couples have different point of view. What i can say is that, request for a fixed schedule that both of you could discuss the problem. First asks some further clarification from your husband why he's pursuing that plan. Let him specify both the advantage and disadvantage of pursuing the plan. Afterwards, lay down your cards. Present other disadvantage you saw in the situation. Then, ask him to also hear our your ideas. Another thing to discuss is you must also consider that husbands always look for ways to earn extra money. That's why he's apt for that business. You seem to think the situation is not reasonable since, he wasn't there to assist you in moving to a safe and comfortable place. I suggest let him know that, that though he's busy outside, you certainly need his assistance on moving out. Just a day leave to assist you in everything. As far as i know, engaging in business is better than having a job.

I guess you have to talk to him first. When he doesn't listen to you, ask his mom and grandma to talk to him. I guess he will listen to them if he will not listen to you. Your situation is really tough. Goodluck, I hope you'll be in better situation soon.
