Same here. I often tell my H that he should have married a young, ditzy woman who just looks up to him and agrees with every idea he has. I really don't know the solution to this one but I certainly recognise the problem.

I'd be wary of trying to communicate verbally with him about everything. Maybe mull some things over here on the board as opposed to getting him to express why he reacts in certain ways. He may not know the answer himself and getting someone to communicate loads can feel like lots of pressure. I know that I've got fed up in the past when a boyfriend has been on my case about communicating better. It puts me off. Maybe you can try things and gauge from his response how successful your strategy is.

I'm so excited you're back in your bed. What's it like? Expect things to improve very, very slowly with setbacks.
