You know it’s bad when you prefer the silent treatment. In 35 years of marriage my wife and I have yet to raise our voices to one another. We do disagree sometimes, but never argue. If I ever were to get banished from the bedroom, I’m sure I could handle it just fine.
“The great enemy of communication, we find, is the illusion of it. We have talked enough; but we have not listened. And by not listening we have failed to concede the immense complexity of our society–and thus the great gaps between ourselves and those with whom we seek understanding.” William H. Whyte
At least Brutus listens. He may not like what he hears, especially from some individuals, but he always listens and will have an appropriate or semi=appropriate response. However, his listening is the key…..

Well a failure in communication certainly happens when you tune out the radio dial!

My wife said that I have 2 major problems, one is that I don’t listen, and there was another one but I don’t remember

My wife is always telling me I tune her out. At least I think she does?

Hope she doesn’t find a “drink me” then slips it into your drink. :D

Just like Brutus does with Mother Gargle.

If you tuned her out, no wonder she’s mad at you.

I think even Brutus can diagnose this one. Although Brutus may want to follow his lead in dealing with the Wicked Witch of the Erie.

When there’s rant going on, it’s hard to communicate.

Brutus should learn from this. He needs to tune out Mother Gargle and Gladys more often rather than let them get his goat.

How does he know they have a communication problem if he tunes everything out?

Brutus ponders, “Now why didn’t I think of that?”…
