Thanks NM. What a GREAT thread that is. Rob, check that one out!
As for that specific post applying to my sitch, well, like I said, we have never had trouble communicating in general. It's only when it comes to talking about US that we have problems. We express emotions and feelings all the time about all kinds of different subjects. Neither of us are shy when it comes to that. I think what I take from that post, and some of what I read on the rest of the thread is that I really need to start listening to my W and stop trying to second guess what her reaction is going to be. I think that is the major barrier for me right now. How many times have I said lately "I would say xxxxx but I know my wife would just say xxxxxx." It would probably help if I just admit I don't know my W nearly as well as I thought, and not nearly enough to read her mind effectivly so maybe I should stop assuming I know what she's thinking. I know people have told me this, and so has my reading, but sometimes it's the 104th time you are told something that it sinks in.
