Re: Never wants to talk
Well, thank you everybody for your input. I do have to say that the article that Swedish referred me to helped alot! After I got off, I had an hour's worth of traffic to sit and think about things and I re read the article and realized that Yes, he does have a communication problem, but that I am not helping it any either. I realized that it doesn't help him want to talk when I always start a convo with what he's not doing. And I admit I am at fault with that alot. I took alot of advice from that article and when I got home of course there was some tension, but instead of lashing out in a hurt and angry state, I stayed calm and after sending the kids to grandma's for the night, we had a very long, very good talk. We got alot of things sorted out (on both sides) and made some agreements (and semi written contracts of what will be routinly handled by each person) so that we will hopefully never be in this place again. We talked until about 2am and both went to bed happy. So I know that there are things that still need to be worked on, but for now all is good! Thank you again to everybody.
