That was my first spouse’s main complaint. Though she couched it as “If you really loved me I wouldn’t HAVE to tell you what I want.”

I closed my ears in advance of you not saying what I didn’t want to hear.

Do you ever get conflicting messages like: “Use your words.”

and then “I shouldn’t have to say anything.” ?

Grasshopper, read my thoughts you must stop eating so much broccoli.

It’s not MY fault your ears are so small, don’t get your nose out of joint. Oh, wait, you don’t have one.

I was a Psych major in college. When my wife started doing that, I immediately sat her down and we came to terms. We lasted until she passed away(41 years).

Sometimes, I don’t care.

Actually, I do. But after the one-thousandth “OM” I’ve tuned you out.
