Hang in there. I'm seeing some of my H's & my interactions in yours & your W's. and gainging insight.
Here's a little from my perspective that has been helpful to my H.

Another source that we have used to help him understand how I talk (not a DB source) said that women use statements as questions, as questions as statements.

Her saying "I need you to come get S2" was really a question. "Can you come get him?" It is at this point, when we are maybe the most vulnerable to your rejection.

When she asks something like "Are you hungry? Is there someplace you'd like to go for supper?" She is really saying I'm hungry and would like to go out. It's her bid for negotiations between the two of you.

Now that H & I know that is my habit, when he hears me ask a question of him as above, he recognizes that I'm bidding for his attention & negotiations into a topic of interest for me and tries to respond accordingly.

I am trying to recognize my statements & rephrase them as questions when I catch myself.

I know.. we're weird creatures \:\)

Taking the road less traveled because those encountered on the way may be just as unique.
