Dear Jennifer
I don;t have much to add other than agree with SD about not talking. It is hard for us women to stop and is something I am having trouble with but maybe try to get your sustenance elsewhere and don't expect a man to be your 'best friend' in the sharing all confidences -doubts, fears department. I am finding trying to squeeze girls talk out of a bloke detrimental. maybe this really isn't the problem. just go for the qt as much as you can.
thinking of you and JD.
