Hopeful Happiness

[COG]

Nic,

Now, this thing w/ walking away from me while we're still conversing REALLY ticks me off - and yes, he knows.

This is a guy thing, and your H has it real deep. Chics like to chat, guys generally don't. It's just the way we're built. Now since you said he stayed in front of the house for 10 minutes on the cell phone, he was obviously thinking about the call he had to make while you were trying to talk to him.

Now here's where women are superior to men. See a chic can be having a convo with the neighbor about the postman, thinking about the laundry, dialing the cell phone, and feeding the cat, flawlessly and all at one time. Guy's don't have that capacity, we can only handle one thought at a time. So it is impossible for us to be thinking about a phone call we have to make, and concentrating on the convo at hand at the same time.

We're just not capable of handling that so what looks like rudeness, is just a bad wiring job. A smart man knows to clear his mind from everything except what his woman is saying to him. Sometimes even smart men forget, so I know it's not fair, but sometimes we need to be kindly reminded.

I think you should explain to him how it felt when he did that to you. No tears, no anger, no frustration, just explain it like you would to a stranger or a good friend.

God Bless,

COG
