How does it work...

[JesusFreak2000]

Well, the title is vague I agree, but basically my question is how do couples talk so much, or at least from what I've heard they talk a lot, I mean don't you run out of things to say, and if not what do you talk about all the time, like for those who aren't ldr, because I'm sure its different for them, but what do couples married or serious dating talk about everyday or whatever... Do you guys really have so many things that you both like that you can talk endlessly about them, or is it a missconception that you talk endlessly is it more like how was your day kinda stuff, and when new things come up you talk about them too... or when you've been thinking about certain things you talk about that, I don't know... well just curious...

I can't think of any time when I've run out of things to say. We talk about whatever's around us...whether it be something on tv or in a film we've watched, or something about our home, or town, or country, thoughts, feelings, events of the day, our hamster, basically anything and everything! Yes, there are times when we don't talk, it's not like there's continuous conversation going on every second. Right now as I type this reply my mouth is firmly shut...for once lol. Sometimes it's also nice to just to snuggle and watch a dvd, not say a word and just enjoy being close. Conversation just tends to flow when you're around someone you can relax and feel comfortable with.

My fiance and I are pretty much in each others' company 16 hours a day when we're together (minus the 8 for sleeping) being in a LDR and all. We don't really run out of things to say except on the phone when we're both falling asleep... and that's pretty much the signal to hang up and go to bed! When we're together we don't always talk constantly. Sometimes we'll just hang out and enjoy being in the same room. But an hour just sitting curled up together each with our own book feels almost as refreshing as conversation sometimes!

don't you know women never stop talking - so the conversations never stop, and the guy listens 90% of the time

Shusssssshhh! Ooooooooooooooo Now you're going to have every woman from the women's disscussion forum come over here and rag on us.

What you say is true by the way.....we tend to catch the last 3 or 4 words of a sentence and say it again so that she'll think we're listening.

Tsk tsk naughty blokes.

It just comes! You can come up with the wierdest things to talk about lol.
We don't talk constantly.
My FH is away at school and we talk on the phone 4-6 times a day (varying in length)
but when he is home I love just sitting in silence with him!

I thought the same thing one day. I think I just looked at him and said what happens when we have nothing to say to each other. He shrugged. Ever since then we've never seemed to run out of anything.

Couples just find things to talk about but there are some days when we could be in the same room and barely talk for a few hours. I've never felt so much comfortable silence.

I think its like you don't always have stuff to talk about, but silence is comfortable, yet since you love each other and want to stay in communication with her, you think of things to talk about, it seems natural to keep talking, and when your not, that's natural too... right?

I'd think it would be better the other way around, if you can get a woman to talk to you, then you don't really have to watch what you say so much, eh?

 

[inrsoul]

we don't talk about the serious stuff all the time but i'm glad she can hold a good conversation or two.. the really deep intellectual stuff. there's always something new to discuss or the usual mundane things to share. but all in all, i'm happy that we talk a lot more than we used to. it's always important to speak your mind, especially what you're thinking about any given situation... men don't get hints most of the time

My fiance and I talk about how our day (or past couple days) went and whatever's on our minds. We generally enjoy the company (and the video games or movies) better than the conversation.
