    • Unfortunately the personality traits that make my husband a very good leader in his field also makes him impatient and difficult to communicate with at home. I have to form my thoughts and give him quick sound bites or I can see him getting irritated. He’s results oriented and doesn’t like a lot of chit chat. And, honestly, I don’t feel we have very good communiation.

    • My husband and I communicate pretty well, or at least I think so estatic

      I try not to bombard him immediately when he comes home, but wait until he has eaten dinner and has unwound from a hard day at work. Sometimes our best talks are in bed just before we go to sleep. Daily life is so hectic it’s hard to just sit down and talk, that’s why we need to keep that in mind and remind ourselves how important one on one time with your mate is.

    • We don’t really communicate that well. I like to talk about things when needed but he doesn’t. He’ll just walk away. Yet hes a talker when It comes to strangers, he will talk to about anyone and evevryone.

      We do tell each other how our day was and he will tell alot but when It comes down to communicating on a personal level..No It doesn’t happen.

    • My first husband listened but he got emotionally involved and usually asked me to quit my job and gave someone a finger if I mentioned my frustration.

      My 2nd husband listened but he could not comprehend.  

      My current BF - wonderful. We can talk everything and anything.  That is my major minimum requirement for now.

    • We communicate well when he isn’t tired.  If he’s tired, I might as well be talking to the dogs!

    • My husband is not much of a talker at all.  He is a good listener though and listens to me run my mouth a lot more than he should really have to.  Poor guy.

      But, when it comes to communicating about the really important stuff, we‘re pretty good at that.

    • Unfortunately, no.  He likes to think he’s got it all together & I see him in a very different light.  He’s more of a compulsive worrier.  What he thinks is strong opinion & logic, I see as whining.  Deep down I believe he’s a good man and on occasion, he’ll even be open to his vulnerabilities (which of course, I would like to see more of) but ego is the root of his inability to be consistent.  Unfortunately, it really gets in the way of us moving forward.

      He is very old school in thinking he’s doing his ‘job’ just bringing home the bacon.  No involvement anywhere else unless I make a stink about it.  Mothering is not what I signed up for!

      Some days it’s a struggle for me to motivate me and to accept the responsibility (I know it’s my choice to make) of having to motivate another adult is something I can’t & most times don’t choose to do.

      Actually for the past year or so, I’ve been on a roller coaster ride on deciding to move on or not.  One of these days, I’m afraid I’ll get to the point where enough is enough & I’ll walk.

      Wow, that felt good!  Thanks!

      Jean

    • We can talk about anything except his daughter.  He is so protective of her and he always thinks I'm putting her down when I'm trying to give constructive criticism.  So I've learned to pretty much not say anything about her!  Quick example (she's 20).....several times the air in her tires get low and she call's him to bring her car over to have him  fill em back up!  I said "what if your not in town or she's across town and notices this, don't you think you should take her to the gas station and teach her how to do it?".  He didn't like that.  Sheesh!
