There just isn't all that much, but shutting down and withdrawing certainly didn't help me any.

At least that's been my experience.<br /><br />Thank you for the kind thoughts about my brother and daughter. Things remain very tense and challenging with our daughter. My brother continues to have set backs and most likely will not be with us much longer, unless a miracle happens. I'm praying with everything I have for just that.faerie wingshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09749617812384896845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260314684463137349.post-38452149513369403632013-02-10T13:53:40.624-05:002013-02-10T13:53:40.624-05:00The differences in the way men and women commincat...The differences in the way men and women commincate have always fascinated me.

A big part was to have a place to sort out my own feeling and then to give them a voice, and yes, grant reads each and every post too. I think the bog has helped us learn more about each other regarding our dynamic. We are both pretty verbal, although Grant often touches than speaks, and I've got the words. Still, the more communication the better. There have been times when I simply could not write, and times when I approached my blog like a self-imposed disciplined task...that I WOULD write and post 3x a week. You will find your way. Whatever this is, it too shall pass.

Sometimes these methods need tweaking/honing, but you work on it. Like you said communicating is key to ALL good relationships. <br /><br />How is your brother doing. And your daughter?

Or, my body language says something different. All of these key parts of communication conspire to want drive me into my "cave" and deal with my emotions and feelings in private. <br /><br />I envy females because you can share your experiences with female friends. Abby's comment is a perfect example. My gender usually does not share which is a real burden for us. For example, it is rare to find a male blogger,including me,who discusses personal matters.<br /><br />I wish I could give advice, but I can only explain how I behave.<br /><br />Hug,<br />joey<br /><br /><br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3260314684463137349.post-49682895938429360232013-02-09T21:58:59.162-05:002013-02-09T21:58:59.162-05:00I think one of the reasons many of us blog is to s...I think one of the reasons many of us blog is to sort out our thoughts and feelings, so that we can better communicate them to our partners.

Words spoken are often spoken with emotions and tears or in a quiet whisper or giggle and hard to express clearly. I've tried writing letters and he has read, but in general my husband is not a reader, other than the news and therefore, that is not a great way to communicate on a regular basis. And I still feel like the message I am trying to get across is not getting through to his direct signal. I am running out of ideas. Any suggestions??? I like Tori's idea of keeping a personal journal and making it available for him to read...maybe I will try that... Anyways, sorry for babbling...my mind is thinking a mile a minute as always. I am glad you and your husband have found ways to communicate with each other that work for you.

Hmmm.
