Vrai, I'm gonna' have to take the guys' side in all of this. Hubby and I often travel from St Mary's to Waldorf in complete silence. I don't want to chit chat, I want to drive.

He's not quiet because he wants to be. He's quiet because he's watching his life pass before his eyes as you drive.Vrai, I'm gonna' have to take the guys' side in all of this. Hubby and I often travel from St Mary's to Waldorf in complete silence. I don't want to chit chat, I want to drive.

Close. He's quiet because he's ticked that he's not driving.

I'm not talking about chit chat and face running. I'm talking about basic communication. Not for entertainment purposes, but for information.
So what did the doctor say about Junior's gaping head wound?
He'll be fine.
Is there any medication he's supposed to be taking?
Uh, yeah.
I see. And did you get a prescription for said medication?
Yes.
And did you fill this prescription at the pharmacy?
Yes.
Did you want to tell me about the dosage instructions?
Huh?

You are comfortable when you can enjoy the silences along with the talking.
The world would be happier if people had the same capacity to be silent that they have to speak.

No, I thought I'd let him suffer so he can learn to man up.

Why? Can't you read?
In the time that that conversation takes place, with at least one person ending up pissed, the man could have simply said, "I took Junior to the doctor - says he's fine, nothing to worry about. He has some meds and has to take 3 a day after meals until they're gone. I just gave him his first dose."
10 seconds, over, everyone's happy, and we can all go back to ignoring each other.

why would you even go through all of that knowing what it will be....ask about Jr...look to see if there is a prescription bag in hand...take it and read instructions. much easier.

Me: "What is that noise?"
Him: "I'm not sure."
Me: "Are you on the rumble strips?"
Him: "No."
Me: "I think it's our car."
Him: "I think it's the tire."
I can't say the conversation would have been any different with a woman.
I can usually expect a yes or no answer to any question with him.
This situation was possibly different.

What the hell is so freaking difficult about basic communication? And why do men seem to have this absolute phobia regarding it??
And I'm not even talking about one man in particular - it's ALL of them.
When I ask you a question, it's not to be nosy or controlling. I'll actually be planning around your answer, and I can't read what passes for your mind.
Most of the time, I don't really care about the answer itself - I just want to know.
EXAMPLE (not my own personal example, but one many women can relate to):
"What time will you be home?" Duh, asshat, because I'd like to know whether to make dinner or if I shouldn't worry about it. Either is fine, I just want to know.
So if you don't ask, blow them off, they get there when they get there, you may or may not be there when they arrive, you make other dinner plans, whatever...THEN they get all pissed off. "Oh, I figured we'd have dinner together..." Well, then you should have told me when you'd be home, huh??
And any guy who's feeling a little defensive about my bash, THEN QUIT FRICKIN' BEING A NON-COMMUNICATIVE BONEHEAD!!!
Thats why I have a dog now !.she loves me for what " I " am thank you!

I have him pick the menu for the whole week. That way, I don't have to hear the make whatever and our converstions start as soon as he walks into the house. Boy, ever complaining about patients, staff, the driver infront(not paying attention)/behind(almost hitting him). All the while I'll tell him about the kids day/my day,etc.
