Ah geez, another linear thinker, LOL. I have plenty of analytical skills, but there's nothing wrong with tempering that with emotional intelligence and even some intuition, no?
The Sound of Silence? I totally understand. It does seem ironic, though, that the more one person in a partnership goes to an extreme, the more the other partner overcompensates.
I guess what I'm trying to say is more communication by the quiet partner can lead to less need for more communication on the...um, less quiet partner's part.
