It might sound trivial, but this issue was really making my wife feel like we were broken or something.
You know you’re comfortable when you can drive somewhere for an hour and not feel like you have to talk.
You could have included better instructions so other husbands could also benefit from your experience.
Wife won’t talk?
#WINNING
Maybe she’s lonely.
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.
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 won’t talk to me.”
So what’s the problem???
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’ve always believed that one good hallmark of a strong relationship, whether with a spouse, girlfriend, friend or what have you, is being comfortable enough in each other’s presence to not feel the need to constantly be in conversation. Sometimes, it’s just nice to be together. Talking isn’t necessary.
Me, I’m fairly blunt anyway. I don’t go around sulking silently. If something’s bothering me or on my mind, then I say something. If I’m not saying anything, there could be any number of reasons why, lost in thought, preoccupied with a work issue, or just nothing that seems all that important to talk about.
To me, constant chatter is a sign of nervousness and discomfort. It’s not a positive to me, it often causes me to wonder what’s going on with a person to cause them to go on like that.
Of course, I could probably live out most of my life in my head, so long as I was reasonably well fed, dry, comfortable and under no serious threat, so what do I know.

It is called “You are a man and she is a woman” syndrome.
Adam got an earful about it, too.
If the two of you have nothing to talk about it is a problem.
You do not have to yammer 24/7 but you should share enough common interests that you talk about more the strict necessities.
Said the blessed man.
Another approach is to get a camera, become expert with it, and start including her in some of your interesting shots. You might be surprised at the effect.
It will likely make your life fuller and richer. Listen with instant, truly sincere, and total engrossment. Nothing ennobles the speaker more greatly.
I’ve found my increasing deafness a blessing to my marriage.
My husband and I go in fits and spurts. We can go hours during trips or both talk a mile a minute. I’m fine with either one.
I always thought to just sit quite with some one and be comfy just being around each other was enough.
Same ole womens crap like all the rest they get from TV and magazines telling them they stink,are constipated,dont matter,DESERVE this and DESERVE that (my favorite) and the list goes on.And now need to constantly be verbally reinforced.
I’m with Mia Wallace on this:
“That’s when you know you’ve found somebody special. When you can just shut the f*** up for a minute and comfortably enjoy the silence.”
Might be a reason for that...
