it's really selfish of you to lurk.



Absolutely . I was very focused on looking for clues to my situation. Not in the mindset of giving advice. I doubt I have much to offer you. The key thing I noticed in all my reading was the similarities between spouses. Turned that observation on my own situation and have been pleasantly surprised at the results.

I'm generally a quiet person in RL too. (NOT shy, NOT anti-social or socially anxious, NOT in a shell, NOT a loner, and NOT the next "she was a quiet person" neighborhood serial killer. ) Just quiet. I learn more with my ears and eyes than with my mouth. (you can do other things with mouths... )

Not to mention, talking alot has a way of lengthening unproductive meetings....yuck.
