Communicaiton is hard. All of us married folks should be able to affirm that! :-)
It IS hard. And yes marriage highlights that in spades!!
Right, I think he is trying to understand my position, but I think in my case fails pretty consistently (especially on this topic). I don't just assume that is on him, so I am trying my best to reword stuff.
On the other hand, I think you have consistently understood my position on this as has @"dirkfansince1998". Even if y'all disagree I feel like you see my position for what it actually is.
P.S. And on here, just like in my marriage, I am not trying to convince anyone to adopt my view points, but I do want to be understood so that when you reject my viewpoints you are rejecting my ACTUAL position and not a misunderstood one.
