I'm familiar with the cold war. I married a guy who hates to talk. I'm a big talker. He can go forever without talking, prefers life that way. I just get angrier and angrier, until I am ready to explode. I took that weapon away from him. Now I refuse to engage in mutual silent treatment.
Gio is found at department stores. I think even Target has it. Cool Water by Davidoff is always a good choice. Also available at the better department stores.
I remember during our "times of trouble", when my husband asked me out on a date. A week in advance. We were going to the country club for a drink on a Sunday afternoon and a nice conversation. My darling daughter told me he probably wanted to apologize to me, maybe he would give me a gift because he was feeling guilty.
So we went. Lovely afternoon, sitting outside on the patio with golfers on the green. We each ordered a glass of wine. Then he started talking. He very calmly explained his point of view. How everything was my fault. How I was a horrible person. Can't really remember what he said, but the mouth just kept moving. I looked down at the table. I wanted a fork. I wanted to stab him with a fork. But they hadn't given us any silverware.
I started yelling at him. I called him names. All the golfers turned and looked. Some of our neighbors walked by and I took a moment out of cursing at him and said hello.
All in all I would have to say that when the emotions are raw, it's really hard to have a nice date.
