Only English. He does much better writing than speaking English.

So it worked well on chat and what-not but fell apart face to face? How did you get to being married if you couldn't talk to him?

It's the serious conversations when one of us has a problem that we have the communication difficulties.

How do you get to being married without having a series of serious conversations?

I guess neither of us can explain our feelings well so we don't know what to say or how to understand. I grew up in a house where feelings weren't talked about so I don't know how to explain or describe much in that aspect.

You can always re-learn these things cassi :yes:

I know Bren has had to learn how to have the feelings talk, and i have had to learn to stfu when appropriate :P

Serious conversations aren't all about feelings.

With my dad and stepmother everything was along the line of "it's my way or you're grounded"

Serious conversations explaining how you feel, why you feel, why you react the way you do, and what you expect from the other. That's what I'm referring to.

Forget the feeling conversations for a second. There's plenty of conversations that should occur prior to marrying someone that have nothing to do with feelings. How did you two do those?

cassi, this is heartfelt.......My dad used to say to me, "sometimes, You need to try and find a way to help yourself",.......and left it at that.

I took those words for what they were worth.

I sort out books, had casual conversations with my friends, asked them how they handled situations, I observed others....I took the advice, and words of wisdom from the books and friends,..and applied them to my own individual situations,.....

Some things can not be handed to you on a platter,..you need to seek and find.....

Like kids, where we want to live, etc? Those are easy because it's all facts.

Sounds like to me a good marriage counselor might be needed. All I know is if Javi acted the way you've said Benny acts, his @ss would be sitting on the curb. I don't play. I had one good for nothing man that I kept around way too long. This time I warned him from the beginning. His @ss is grass if he can't act right. So far so good.

Just couldn't stay my @ss away!
