Wesse, One quick thought. Here's what i have to say about open communication. Like I write in all of my books, become a solution detective. No matter how illogical or uncommunicative your husband is, there are times when he is more so, figure out what accounts for the difference. Also, once you truly accept the fact that some of your talks are going to be less than satisfactory, you will find that the better ones happen more and more.
If not, try notes, phonecalls and email messages.
Just a thought. and one more thing. If he's willing, there are great courses to learn how to communicate better. Go to one together. Michele
