Not too long ago, my SO, when asked by moi to 'talk' to moi, responded that a man cannot simply make himself 'talk' - to which I responded "Poppycock", at least that is my story and I'm sticking to it.
This same man, who had just proclaimed that a man cannot simply 'talk' on demand, could not resist the urge to educate me and then launched into an explanation of how men have this box inside their brains to where they mentally retreat and simply think about nothing......to which I replied "Poppycock", at least that is my story and I'm sticking to it.
I wonder if this is why the Big-Box stores are so popular with men?
I politely (that is my story and I'm sticking to it) pointed out to him that, after thirty-eight years of marriage, he should be able to find something to talk about, which, then apparently, rendered him speechless.
Now, if you have been following my blog, you will know that I am fond of making lists. I am now compiling a series of Post-It notes with conversation topics written on them. I feel a calling to enable my SO to 'think outside the box'. After thirty-eight years of marriage, I have a long list of conversation topics. I can hardly wait to share my list with him.
I thought our first topic of conversation could be the art of sharing 'deep and meaningful' thoughts. I wonder how that discussion will go..............................?
