My wife is a communication invalid.....What to do?
My wife calls me a "Freak of Nature". She says that most guys don't open up as much as I do. Well ours is different. I'm the communicator and my wife has a real hard time opening up. I'm so exasperated I can't even get her to call the marriage counselor to set an appt.
Her inlaws warned me about this before we got married. She's half her mom who is a real piece of work and half her dad who's more like me; talkative, extrovert, and non-confortational.
We have many arguments because when I want to talk about finances, our intimacy, and about her nightly routine of getting on her computer for hours on end. (she works well into the evening), she always finds an excuse to change the subject.
My wife does do nice things for me like cook and clean. She'll call me up at work and ask what I want for dinner. I'm wondering if this is her way of communciating to me. We've been married 6yrs now, and it doesn't seem to be getting any better.

You gotta get her to counseling because it is becoming a big issue for you. I know it must be hard to deal with but you sound like a great guy. Pray for your wife and I am sure God will answer and help you. She sounds like she loves you but the internet thing may be an addiction and she needs to spend some of that time with you as well.

I think you answered your own question, when you said ". She'll call me up at work and ask what I want for dinner. I'm wondering if this is her way of communciating to me. " Everyone has different ways of communicating and how they do it. For instance my mom always talk to me when it concerns food nothing else.. this use to piss me off for the longest time, but I had to understand that this is her way to communicate or express themselves. If you know your wife well, and this is really the only time as you say then that is your opening..hope this helped..

well if she knows how to change the subject she is far more superior in communicating than u re. she just doesn't want to talk and does it very subtly.
