I should hasten to say that I didn't post this pessimistically but because my wife and I are experience a rejuvenation of intimacy between us and I am not paranoid but I also don't want to become complacent. Things that I assumed were 'just how it is' are being questioned a lot more. I'm trying to love my wife like she's part of me, and trying to understand her better. |

I listened to her, and then commented that while I could see that it might be taken as criticism that it was actually quite constructive and was probably not meant to be offensive. She utterly clammed up. After a long while of trying to get her to talk she said that she didn't know what I had wanted her to say.
After all this time I still have moments where I don't think I understand her--or any woman for that matter--at all.
Any time people are communicating there can be problems. Believe me, my wife and I have had plenty. Our first languages are not the same, and while she is at basic English level, I know almost none of her native tongue. |
