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.

If a man is alone in a forest, and his wife isn't around to hear him, is he still wrong?
My mother fell out of the car one day.
Cop pulled my dad over about three blocks down the street.
Cop said, buddy your wife fell out of the car back there.
The old man said, that’s a relief I thought i went deaf.
Maybe a silent physical sign would be good, like holding her hand, a touch, like that.
See thats funny, they used a male model that looks like Bob Hope.
I knew I married Mrs Right. I just didn’t know she was Mrs Always Right.
Sorry. My reply was not responsive. Do you share any hobbies or interests with your wife? Sports, movies, reading, politics or cooking?
Did you discuss this article with her? What did she think about it?
My wife's great, she's been leaving me pretty much alone for the past month, as Gonzaga remained undefeated and climbed up the charts. March Madness is just around the corner, too.
It's not like she has no one to talk to. She has six sisters, three of whom live within 15 minutes of us. There's more drama in her family than most soap operas on TV.
“My wife won’t talk to me.”
So what’s the problem???
Yes, you all are natural born emotional torturers. I mean the Rack, waterboarding, toothpicks under fingernails, has nothing on you gals.

LOL!!
LOL!!
True. I was an only child and spent a lot of time by myself. I prefer quiet, we are quiet people, and have pets that prefer quiet.
We talk plenty, but enjoy our quiet lifestyle.
LOL!!
Aint that the truth.
It also again references the inherent natural talent of men, problem solving.
A friend of mine went through that sort of thing and ended up in counseling with his wife. She saw the first counseling session as her chance to talk, so she began unloading with criticisms and complaints from when they met in college. After several minutes of this and not being allowed to say anything back as the rules of the counselor specified, my friend got up and announced that he was going outside for a smoke and to let him know when his wife got up to anything in the last year or two. That of course caused an uproar and, after another session or two, the counselor recommended that they get divorced, which they did.

This thread is comedy gold, just as I expected.
Buy her a riding lawnmower and watch her smile just light right up..........
My wife wont talk to me.
Do you want her to talk to you?
Think carefully if that is really a good thing, or a bad thing.
I was going to say that most of the married men I know just wish their wives had an “off” button. The grass is always greener, I guess.
Lucky for me my DW is a Gamecock fan. We go to the games and she actually pays attention instead of yacking through the entire 40+ minutes.
