Theta, I am not married, but I am dating one woman exclusively.

If she told me that she did not want to talk about something, then I would respect that. (In fact there are a couple of things she does not want to talk about ever, and I do respect that)

I too have had my fair share in the past dealing with a man who would bunker down when deciding he didn't want to talk about something. As a woman there's a fine line to take between respecting a man's desire for space and freedom, choosing when to have that all important chat, using language that affirms and gets "heard" by a man, and standing firm when you know there's an issue that's simply too important not to raise.

Both parties have to be respectful. A woman has a responsibility to use tact, timing, brevity and proper language, and a man has to open his ears to hear what it is the woman wishes to say.

Stuffing down issues is never a good option in my book. But choose your battles wisely!

I love it when the guys says his ex is crazy. It says so much more about him than about her. I get on my running shoes and make for the hills.

Hi Xhris yes i totally agree, but there are people who will just bring all the worst out of you-provoke you and push buttons that never been actiavted before or blame you for things you havent done etc..I got upset in my life over things like that maybe 2 or 3 times and i know the person is the one who provoke me really bad and i lost and it doestn happen usually at all i was really surprised for myself-believe me there are situations in life like that! But i understand what you mean!
