It's funny, I do the same thing. I don't know why. I wonder how it's gonna be at 30, or 40!

Maybe it's the fact that my wife has a lot of energy compared to me. Maybe it's the fact that we have no friends here, and she stays at home all day long, whereas I get my share of interaction at work. Maybe it's because I'm a geek, or a nerd, who finds little pleasure in smalltalk, whereas she craves for love and cuddling.

My husband never shuts up and it's the same stories over and over. He will not listen I can tell because if I start to talk he just keeps talking over me, he is also very very hyper, can't sit still unless he's asleep or really into the tv, that's when I get my break. My 1st husband was silent, so I have seen both types.

Well, me and my..i guess ex boyfriend, are going through a very hard time at the moment, but thats a totally different story. but when we were our old selves, when we were happy, he talked his head off. I think it was because we were best friends aswell as loving each other, apart, we talk to other people alot, but never about ourselves. something when we got together though, we just feel like we can tell each other everything. we were best friends. I really hope we gain that back again one day, its the greatest feeling in the world.

Hi there,
I'm not married but my boyfriend and I have been together for 4 yrs and have lived together for 2 of those 4 and I understand what you are saying! After we moved in together, the communication just stopped. I know it's mostly because he is working and in school so he's probably sick of thinking when he gets home, but I know it's frustrating and we are currently working on that right now as well. Trying to give one another what the other needs. He needs space, I need affection, etc.

Thank you everyone for sharing your own experiences on this topic. (((Page)))

I've been married for almost one year. Communication is still difficult. We are polar opposites on a lot of things.
