My, Ex Wife, was / is Leap years ahead of me in ‘conversation’. She remembers everything and is capable of having several directions, for the conversation, to go at a moments notice. I just couldn’t begin to keep up. I easily got ‘lost’ and forgetful. Not on purpose. Looking back, I can see and feel how I was slow. Out Classed!

While separated and at different paces in our personal healing when I’ve asked open ended questions I’ve been called out for snooping or interrogating if I’m too curious. I usually get away with “how are you?” And a single follow up. I understand why she pulls back at the moment. She desires freedom more than anything. I’ve had to learn not to take it to personal and cherish the details about life she does decide to share when she is comfortable.

It does hurt to want to know how she is and be treated like I shouldn’t care because of what we’ve been through. I’m relearning how she communicate and makes decisions and I’m sure that will continue to change as she does.

The phone is just another version of what you’re defending in relationship, it’s sharing knowledge, attention, anticipation and fake intimacy. It mimics all the things about intimacy you’re talking about

“I am a safe space to listen.”

LOL. Nice cop out.

I don't need to have the same interests as my husband. I've been married for 49 years. When my husband of me came home from work, the first thing my children saw was us connecting together. Hugging and kissing. Then... their time with us came 2nd.

As a husband, I am the one who avoids talking. Has come to the point she just quit asking, just gave up, her words. I am afraid to talk, reach out, hug or touch for fear of what will transpire. I feel if it’s not her idea it’s not a good idea, So I wait to be asked or told. The answers I give are yes, no or I don’t know, while after thinking please don’t ask because I mostly don’t care. I don’t want to share what I am feeling because I will have to live with the answer and it’s affects. So I am afraid.
I dislike open-ended questions because that often leads to discussing feelings and interacting. I also don’t like phone calls because of early history of bad relationships on the phone.
Cuddling is a no because of fear.
I am afraid to get involved with talking about and learning about them. The reason as it may involve that why don’t I already know that, so I feel like I am being attacked for not knowing.

Boom !!! Thanks for this topic, PIES, have been definitely helping me progress as a better man and husband 🙏🏻

[thinkforyourself]

I had always interpreted the I in Intellectual of the PIES as my learning more so I would be more interesting. I never interpreted it as being interested in what my spouse learned. Thank you for giving me this new perspective.

Kimberly bless you for saying how spouse2 may be constantly coming into the conversation carefully considering what spouse1 is interested in and stimulated by, but eventually does deserve/need spouse1 to care about spouse2's needs and interests. Some spouse1's can be so needy from some childhood brokenness that they need the world to revolve around them all the time, and that is something they need to work through if they want to have a healthy relationship with spouse2 or anyone for that matter.

This episode is saying my story. My husband complaints constantly that I don't speak, that I don't have conversations with him, but at this point in my life (after finding he was unfaithful) is hard for me to establish conversations. I was always quiet, but this other person in his life provided undivided attention and mindless conversations and he wants that from me. I feel stuck.

I’m so glad I’ve found your channel, love the vids, please keep them coming 😊

[insleyjosewickhamnunez]

My wife is having an affair with someone now she just recently admitted it, she says that it start by just talking because she say we never talked, I love my wife and I think base on what she says that she loves me too but now she is in love with him too. I have started talking more with her and at times she talks, then there is time where she doesn't want to talk to me. She wanted to be in a relationship with him still but can let me go. Right now I feel so ripped inside.

[phillipjones]

I agree it's more likely but not completely, it's the opposite for us, it's me as the husband that feels lonely.

[Wrensspeedshop]

I as the husband said everything you started the show off saying. After 12.5yrs I had a roommate and eventually filed for divorce. I don’t want to be apart, don’t want to say goodbye to her, don’t want her not to be in my life and as my wife. I got no help in return and couldn’t take it. What do you do??

[moy]

It make me sad 😢that my wife is always on her phone 🥺

[erikaahello]

Im currently listening to this vid and I wish my hubby was here so that I could apply these😢 im sure he stopped for drinks after work before coming home 😥

[pharmclare]

I am enlightened. Thank you for sharing

Regarding the open ended question question when your wife asks you about Christmas dinner while you’re scrolling the news, perhaps you could’ve scrolled traditional Christmas dinners, or themes of how other countries or cultures prepare their Christmas dinners ??
Could that have been another way to address your desire for knowledge (in the phone) AND connect with your wife?
