Default Re: What should be shared?

Does your wife avoid confrontation? I do and I know many times it does cause me to keep things to myself. My husband is usually not afraid to voice his opinion and thinks very analytically so there are times I will not share simply because I don't want to get into a back and forth discussion. Sometimes I just want to talk and have my feelings acknowledged...I guess it's venting but I don't need him to 'fix' anything...maybe just a hug. We are both getting better at understanding what the other needs as far as communicating goes and opening up but it's a slow process since we are both fairly introverted.
