Quote: Ok, don't hate me for saying this. But it's the opposite for us. I'm really not a "tell me your deepest darkest secret and let's bond" kind of girl. I like to be alone by myself to recharge my batteries (no not those, the internal ones). And H is more the one to talk about feelings etc.
Yep. Same as my wife and me - I'm the talker, she feels like were together if we're just reading in the same room at the same time, and like we're bonding if we share the chores in the house. There's a basic symbolism there that means a lot more to her than it does to me.
One way I've adapted is subscribing to Netflix and getting a couch in front of the T.V. so we can cuddle together and watch a movie. Alas, our 16-year-old daughter has decided to become cuddly too and join us on the couch...I think it's good for her to have cuddly warm contact, and I'm not pushing her away, but I do like it a bit more when I can watch a film alone with my wife ;->
