Understand. I'm the communicator in the house, my wife tends to be more on the quite side. I communicate I think o-k... I can definitely do better though. She is more of an email person also and I usually respond the way your husband does but I have a HORRIBLE habit of dominating the conversation. Wow, that was just an epiphany. Maybe I am a little too domineering. :-( I really don't try to be.
