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.

It’s not deliberate; we are just wired differently.
Exactly!
One of the funniest things that ever happened to us..
I am very hearing impaired, one time when we were riding
on Mr Bs 1947 Harley, he decides he’s gonna tell me something while cruising a 70mph!
LOL
What he said: “Whatever you do while wearing those clip on sunglasses. DON’T LOOK UP!”
What I thought I heard:”YADA YADA YADA, LOOK UP!”
So I did..
I'm glad he listens, and takes this aspect under loving advisement.
did you see the :) ...?
One of Mr GG2’s friends said his wife didn’t like him. Mr. GG2 said “ my wife loves me man. great dinner every night right on time.”. :-)
“ my wife loves me man. great dinner every night right on time.”.
Sometimes, that’s the most a guy can hope for...
Well Mr. GG2 gets treated like a king 24/7. I know a good thing when I have it. A good looking, bad azz hand gunner. ;-)
Yes, I did. I know you were only kidding about the torture part, but our communication problems can be frustrating. Women are puzzling to men and vice versa.
i’m lucky, i’m left handed, got more connections between the hemispheres than right handed guys. i can understand women a little better due to this structure.
it really boils down to whether i am gonna care about it or not. ;)
What a crazy game!
I once went for two weeks without saying a word to my ex. There wasn’t anything wrong. Growing up, I was taught that interrupting someone was rude. :=)
I can’t believe after only scoring 16 points in the first half it went to 4 OTs.
Just got home from the game, tomorrow is going to be a long day!
I’ve got February 21st circled on my calendar.
Oh... I could and can do bills. But, she wasn’t working outside the home at the time and we figured to try to ease my load. Ended up driving a wedge between us. ... amongst other reasons too.
Don’t go back then. Life is short. If it starts getting real short go back. Then it will feel longer. Bad joke.
If no minor children are involved and you have done your best then start over. Sometimes it just doesn’t work and it’s not your job to fix someone else or to make them happy.
Back when I was dating and looking for a spouse there were three women that I had seriously considered. In the end I didn’t pick the prettiest one, nor did I pick the one with the doctoral degree. Instead I picked the one I most enjoyed sharing long conversations with.
20 years later my wife and I are still having those wonderful conversations, and our marriage is as strong as ever.
Minor children are involved.
I am truely sorry then for the joke and the situation. I feel stupid for joking. I was in a similar spot with much clearer issues. Infidelity. I chose to leave and it was still very hard. Whatever happens find the joys in your life. Find the joy in your kids. Have faith! You can’t fix other people’s issues and it’s not your fault if they can’t be fixed. You can accept their failings, with or without them in you daily life. Gods speed!
its restful not to HAVE to talk about nothing just so it looks good.

Mark Gunger “Men’s and Women’s Brains”
He’s a Christian marriage therapist.
A bit of comedy to show actual scientific realities.
Men have brains full of boxes, with a subject in each box, and no box touches another one.
Women’s brains are a big ball of wire with all the wires connecting each other - and it all runs on emotion.
