Is there an unwritten rule somewhere that women must begin deep conversations about feelings and relationships when their partner is sleepy, sleeping, or trying to sleep ?
At a wedding reception: The DJ says, gentlemen please hand the flowers on the table to the prettiest lady at your table. The totally inebriated man hands the flowers to the prettiest lady at his table. His wife didn’t think it was funny and let him and everyone else know. Moral of story: Yes dear, YOU are the prettiest.
Lynn’s notes:Some problems might have been seeping into my own marriage at the time, but we managed to keep things going because the kids were young, we both had a lot to do, and we both had a great sense of humour.
Being a person who wears glasses all the time like John, I would never have to go “get my glasses” because they are always nearby when they aren’t on my face. Folks who wear glasses all the time don’t allow them to be elsewhere because we need them to see.
says Lagoulou 27 minutes agoWhy do you need to “see” to answer a verbal question? Should be able to declare “feelings” with your eyes even closed……-Gives him time to think.

must this conversation occur when he’s half-asleep during a nap? it’s not easy to pay attention while so

Yes, that way any lapses in thought can be used against him. Been there, done that, received the “Prize”.

There is a great old Carter family song that fits this topic perfectly: “Answer Only with Your Eyes”https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_xrghp_G30

Do you need reassurance?

He needed his glasses so he could know who and what was going on.

that is a great answer. I wonder if it was “real” or did she make it up. well, love lies bleeding in the ruins, most of the time.

If a man said all that to a woman, she would just say- “Stop bothering me with such silly thoughts”!

Well, I don’t hear Elly make any declarations to John, do you? It needs to be both ways to work.

Half the time, he acts as if he doesn’t even like her, so I’m thinking that this is out of the question…

@Linguist. My wife accuses me of wanting to discuss important issues when all she wants to do is sleep. When the light goes out she’s already snoring.
