I'm sorry...I'm giggling a little bit here. My H and I have little miscommunications like this too, our minds just work different, and that's the way it is. I admire the way you both worked through this, it was good that you addressed it in a positive way.
I agree that people (and particularly M/W) think differently. There's nothing wrong with it in my mind. It's just one of those things you have to accept and consider. W on the other hand seems to think that it's a tragic flaw in our R that we think so differently. It makes it difficult when conflict ensues because it's tinged with confirmation of her belief that we shouldn't be together.

Sounds to me like it is more that she is frustrated you can't read her mind...and every couple has these kind of issues. Hopefully as you work together she will come to realize that it's as much her responsibility to communicate effectively as yours.
The mind reading expectation is there to some degree or other. I do think we're coming to terms with our own responsibilities when it comes to communicating effectively.
Out of curiosity, what's the title of that book?
Thanks for your encouragement.
