My Visit to Mars
This morning some ongoing "relationship issues" came up, and I was feeling unhappy, unsure of myself, and in need of communication and closeness. In response to all this, Greg fixed my dryer.
Yeah, I know there are exceptions, and I know someone out there is going to take issue with this generalization, but men and women DO communicate differently. Being firmly in the typical woman camp (in this respect, anyway), let me tell you it can be maddening to be in love with someone who doesn't talk about feelings, "process" arguments and reassure with words. But communicating differently doesn't equate to not communicating, and I believe that if women expect men to make an effort to speak their language, women need to listen carefully to the messages of power tools.
