This subject reminds me of a book I read, Men are from Mars, Woman are from Venus. Did anyone else read it?
I am also very blunt like Alysia. Most of the time, I think it comes across as hurtful although, that is not my intension. When it comes to teaching or an investigative work ethic, I become very wordy and contumacious. Maybe this is why at home, I am very short, to the point and don't want the confrontation.
As for the book, I specifically remember that when a women talk to their men, men want to help and resolve the problem when women tend to just want to talk to make noise. Which causes an issue for women because we want to complain or talk just to create a conversation, not so much to resolve an issue.
As for men, they tend to not want to talk because they don't want to feel so close to someone and tend to withdraw into their 'caves' as they called it. Once in the cave, they tend to regather and once they emerge, they are ready to be loved and communicate again.
So, all in all, we have cavemen and chatterboxes. Understanding how each one of us operates and understanding that it is nothing personal can create a beautiful bond.
