Yes he is, and we have great communication with each other. I don't usually bug him while he's working. He hardly pays attention to what I'm saying when he's busy working. So I don't push it at all, unless it's really an important thing. But after work, we talk a lot. For me that's always the best part of the day. Talking and sharing, and planning about the things we want to do. That makes our relationship really stronger.

Me and my bf are very good at communicating to each other, if anything, he talks a lot more than me. I am more than happy to sit and listen as he tells me about his latest project, how much it's going to cost (sigh) and that sort of thing. And then we weren't talking about serious stuff he's always the one to take the lead. I'll bring something up and then he'll give me his full attention and tell me his point of view, put into words what I am unable to and make me realise why I love him so much. He's very honest and blunt with what he says.

..a little of both! I don't always want to talk either.. We talk a lot about politics, being very much of the same party, and we talk about other things too, of course!

My partner is only a good conversationalist when you have him in the right topic. There is only a few topics that he gets real deep into and also when he's upset about something then he wants to talk about it until he lets it all out or when he's trying to make a point about something. Those are the only times he is. I mean other times, I'm trying to make some type of conversation with him because we're in the car and I know we're going to be there for quite some time, but he just ends up frustrating me cause we see thing so differently, its amazing that we're together.

Well there is a saying that opposites attract ...it doesnt always mean because you dont have too many things in common that you arent meant for each other!! lol...Most men have their topics i think...

when there's nothing good on to watch we just sit an talk. or we would normally discuss what happen during the day and then watch television, or i would just read a book while he watch the game.

Thats a good level of compromise....and it obviously works well for you... the only problem with me doing that would be ..if i go into another room my hubby follows me!!..i dont know where he thinks im going to go!!!lolol

Yeah me and my Rob have had some great talks. The best ones are when you cuddle and talk at night. We always like to have silly talks too and be goofs. BUT there is sometimes another side to my baby . Sometimes, Tv seems to be his everything . That will hurt me sometimes , and also sometimes when he firat will wake up or all crabby he wont wanna listen . So, I guess I have a little of both worlds.

As man is from Mars...lol, there are moment that they want to go back in their cave should I say! A moment when they want to be silent, 100% attention in the tv. but, after that moment, my partner will start talking and we do enjoy sharing our experiences and thoughts about anything. The moment he will not talk, I will also find something to do and keep myself busy or I will just sit next to him.

Most times we can, although he is pretty annoying sometimes as he does annoy me when he does not listen to what I am saying, he will walk off when I am in the middle of a sentence and then when I get cross with him, he will say that he thought I had finished. This is probably why I talk to myself so much sometimes about serious things!

Lol Rose...mines a natterer..a serial natterer....but sometimes he likes a one sided natter!!! So i transport my self to another plane...and let him carry on.. the only thing that he does do thats a bit irritating..bless him...is give me a runnung commentary on the tv ...if the news is o n ..he chips in with an opin ion...now that does get my goat !!lol...because the news is factual...and hubbys opinion is just ...well his opinion!!!...but apart from that all is well !!! I have got biscuit crumbs in my keyboard...the letters are sticking again!!

Yes, we talk about anything and everything. He is a conversationalist and so am I. The good thing is, we never end in an argument. We always have different views but we see to it that we see the good points in it rather than argue about our differences. Sometimes, even while watching tv, we discuss what we are viewing .

We talk all the time. Sometimes we talk even though we're supposed to be trying to go to sleep.

We can natter away for ages...about nothing in particular...and enjoy it..the only time that hubby is on another planet is if he is watching the tv..he gets right into his programme and forgets about the world...maybe thats not a bad thing though
