Though it’s often a complaint we hear from a wife that her husband won’t talk, we often receive a request for help from a husband who says, “My wife won’t talk to me.”
It’s all over the realm of possibilities in terms of what this means. Sometimes the husband means that his wife won’t talk to him other than small talk.
In other words, the two don’t seem to “have much to talk about” as people say.
This is a typical complaint from a spouse or an agreeing couple. We’ve been largely taught to believe that if we aren’t in constant conversation and dialogue with our spouse that something is terribly wrong. That we aren’t close enough or that the person not talking doesn’t care enough about us or that our marriage is broken in some other way. Nonsense.

Sometimes there’s just nothing to say.
Sometimes “anything you say can and will be used against you.”
Which it is matters.
I WAS going to post “Lucky SOB but you came up with the post of thread, if not the day.
I suggest that (if you haven’t already) you start drinking heavily.
Learn the joys of a good cigar.
No drug store panatellas.
Really good stuff, like Partagas Humitubes and Arturo Fuente Gran Reserva Rothschild.
And buy a motorcycle.
Nothing less than 1,000cc. Solo Seat.
Shoot pool. Get in a fight now and then.
Stop trying to figure out women.
You be the mystery.
Live life on *your* terms.
And lose the onesie PJs and cocoa.
You’re welcome.
When my husband and I are watching tv together, usually Netflix dramas of some sort, it is a hard rule that if we want to discuss a character, a plot device, or want to puzzle out who we think is the murderer, we have to stop the program and discuss it.
We talk a lot. Usually current events but also philosophical questions about God and man, or history (he is a history buff) or sports. He is a fount of knowledge on many many topics. So we have a great time. We don’t talk about our “relationship” unless we have a conflict to work out. We can be silent too but it’s not really our style. We are both opinionated and passionate. Our son is the complete opposite. He is stone cold quiet most of the time. I haven’t a clue what is in his mind unless he cares to share it with me which he will occasionally. I imagine that he is different when he’s with his buddies.
Be prepared for her to walk out or throw you out.
We both have always loved to read and it's great that we found each other so that we can enjoy it together ...

LMAO!!
You know you’re comfortable when you can drive somewhere for an hour and not feel like you have to talk.
Classic routine from Bill Engval....
I was at the gym the other day working out with my buddy. My buddy Joey. And he goes “hey, man, I’m getting a divorce.”
I said “Wow, that sucks. Can you spot me?”
That was our whole conversation! So then I go home to my wife, and I say “Hey, Joey is getting a divorce.”
She goes “Oh, my God! What happened?”
“I dunno.”
“What do you mean you don’t know? Is she cheating on him, is he cheating on her?”
“Again, I’m not holding anything back here, I don’t know!”
She goes “Bill, someone tells you they’re getting a divorce and you don’t ask any questions?”
And I go “Well, that’s because he didn’t ask me a question! He didn’t say ‘hey Bill, what do you think about me getting a divorce?’, he said, ‘I’m getting a divorce’, which said to me, ‘I require no further input on your part.’”
If he had said ‘What do you think about me getting a divorce?’, I’d have said, ‘Well, you’re gonna be dating again, so you should work on your abs’.
If you have the radio on, that usually stifles conversation. OTOH, if you’re wife is anti Trump activist, I wouldn’t talk to her either.
LOL!
My husband’s a chatterbox...
You could have included better instructions so other husbands could also benefit from your experience.
Wife won’t talk?
#WINNING
If you don’t want this kind of drama (DRA-ma!) hitting you from out of nowhere, do not get married.
You will be facing it at least for a week every month. And then the unexpected times all the rest of the month.
And, dont forget if you are talking, something can always be taken out of context, and then you are in the same boat again, just for trying.
Maybe she’s lonely.
