One more thing I wanted to mention...as my wife and I seem to get more comfortable, and the "normal" conversation increases, I noticed something.
She seems to be slightly bothered by the breaks sometimes. We will be chatting, into some heated discussion or just yacking about nothing and there will be a few moments of silence....and she will say "So that's it..nothing more to talk about....you're all done talking to me??"
That happened last night and I swear there was something she wanted to add, or had something on her mind, but I didn't want to push or read too much into it.
When she gave me the "what are you all done talking?"...I said jeez wife, we just got done with a 15 minute conversation..we were talking for the whole ride..what do want to talk about??
She said "I don't know...we should just talk"...we do talk all the time..."I know..maybe we should talk more"...about what, I said.
...and a pause..."Oh I don't know...let's just listen to some music...you big jerk", with a laugh and a slap on the arm.
