In the Michele helps Joanne post, Joanne says she'd like her H to bring up talk about their relationship. You, Michele, say, don't hold your breath, men don't like to talk about relationships, a better goal is to act in a way that will persuade him to engage in the conversation when you talk about your relationship. Other places I'm reading to avoid OR conversation all together. There is absolutely no doubt that personally, I need to decrease OR talk significantly, but cut it out all together???? It is one of the things that helps me feel close to my H when he is willing to talk this way (he does not initiate conversations like this and most of the time is mighty tough to engage in this type of conversation). Please help me understand.
