My H and I have the same communication problem. It drives me insane. I always hear men complaining that we women expect them to just know if we have a problem, but in my experience, it's the man in my life who just expects me to 'know' when he is unhappy. I always assume he is just in a funk, or in the Mars cave, and that if I'm patient, he will come out, but, oh no, I must just know, and also have a ready answer as to how to solve the problem too, without 'confrontation' (which is any communication on problems between us, no matter how gently presented).
Piecing is really no piece of cake, that's for sure.
