What you say is true. I know I mind read to much. I worry too much about hurting his feelings. I am hoping that with the good feelings we are currently having, the communication will also improve. Maybe his feelings won't be hurt so easily. I wish he would stop the mind reading, too. He has told me that he doesn't think he knows what I am thinking; he knows what I am thinking. That is just ridiculous.
No, I don't talk in bed either. I did with other partners and at the beginning of this R. The combination of not wanting to wake the kids and his lack of talking, I became uncomfortable with talking or making much noise. Now I have to get past the mental block of hurting his feelings. Hopefully, that will happen tonight.
I know what you mean about fixing things now, while all the plumbing still works. That is why I am here. Also with our kids growing up and moving out, I want us to enjoy our freedom. We will miss having them around. But missing the kids won't hurt as much if we love being alone with each other.
I've got to get off here now and get D up. We need to go shopping for a clutch purse to go with her Prom dress.
