How to Complain Without Hurting Your Partner

I have a question though, what do you do when you've that and your feelings are just ignored and disregarded? I'm kind of stuck in some what of a relationship with this person so at the very least I'd like to co-operate with them.

@drellawicked This is a complex issue which is difficult to answer in short, in a public forum. It would need exploration of the way the 2 of you think, feel, and your histories and emotional temperaments. There are specific tools to do this if you're not in couples therapy; you might start with the exercises in The 7 Principles for Making Marriage Work. (Even if you are not married, the work is the same.) It's an ongoing process with no instant answers.
