I WILL leave now with a little exchange I had with my W, which I posted before as part of a larger convo but I think it is important to pull it out of context here to address what you posted Mama.
M: Why can't you just talk to me about things that you KNOW are issues? W: I am not like that. I don't talk about things that much. I can't stand all that talking. It gives me a headache. I prefer to just SHOW you what I mean rather than tell you. M: Ok, but I am not a very good mind reader. W: You don't have to read minds, just pay attention every once in awhile.
I post this because your H and my W may share a similar trait in that they DON'T talk about these kinds of things. If anything, they will just DO and expect us to notice that. Sucks, but it's the truth.
