Thank you, BD, for reassuring me that I am right for being crazy lately, lol! OK this is kind of funny but true-I was looking at communication tips for relationships and came across this tidbit:
Quote:
Does your man seem disinterested when you are trying to talk to him about something vital to you? Do you feel that you two have a problem and you wish to discuss about it? Does your man seem less than excited when you insist you both must talk about the issue right there and then?
Men, more often than not, wish to keep their problems to themselves and think about them for a while. It does not mean your man is incapable of communicating with you, it just means that he would rather process the situation before saying anything. More often than not, a man will need to come up with something concrete to say or a specific solution to a problem, rather than just discussing several different options with you.Though women think about our problems out loud and wish to discuss or talk about every aspect of an issue, does not mean men have to do the same.
When it comes to communicating, give your man some space. When he is ready to talk to you about an issue, permit him to approach you. Remind yourself that you are two different creatures and when it comes down to it, men and women have a very different style of communication.
gee...I sure can relate to those items in bold that I underlined!Familiar!! (even if it is trying to put men in a box!)
