I've been married for nearly 38 years. You'd think I'd have it down by now. Be aware of the differences between men and women. Able to correctly interpret the secret language that men sometimes speak. But no, not me!
The other morning my husband walked into our bathroom as I was applying my makeup. We hadn't said much more than "good morning" so far that day, so I was surprised when he started a conversation that sounded like it could be pretty serious. He said, "You know, sometimes when we don't seem to be able to connect very well ..." My mind immediately turned to issues that seem to make us out of sync. Those problem areas where it seems we may never completely agree. I was impressed that he would be doing such deep thinking so early in the morning, and even more, that he would want to share his feelings with me.
I listened intently, wanting to savor his openness. "...when we don't seem to be able to connect very well, it's usually because the router isn't going to the computer the right way."
So much for my vision of a heartfelt disclosure. Yep, men are from cyberspace, women are from Venus!

See you're a writer, creating relationship problems where there weren't any before!
Seeester, That is hilarious!! I LOVE it! You should be a writer! Love, J9
Your critique group friend says to submit this to a laugh line like Christianity Today or somewhere. Funny!! :-)
Oh, yes. Hubby gets quiet and I'm wondering what's on his mind. Is he mad about the _____ that happened this morning? Is he struggling to find the words to apologize for the _____ he did?
But no. While my hubby's not a web man, his interests do seem to occupy his mind more than whatever happened earlier. I may as well shrug and let it go. . .
That is hysterical! And so typical! Thanks for the laugh.
