That's not what I said! I meant this.

Do you have to explain what you meant to your partner? Does he/she Truly understand your view? The more I see , the luckier I feel. I guess it is because I'm in love with my best friend. He and I are used to talking Everything over. How about you?

hi sarahruthbeth thats really lovely to read you are in love with your best friend and you talk everything out.
Even in the best relationship there are times and situations where you have to explain what you meant to the one you love. We are married now for almost 6 years and believe me, even if you live together almost 24/7 minus the time you aork you are still two persons with different points of view and different ways of expressing these views.......

Agreed but once it is explained is it cleared up or did things get worse? On the rare occasions I differ from my guy once I explain he can agree to disagree, there is no arguments .How about you?

ooops I got back here by chance and didnt get a notification about your reply here.
It differs.Sometimes its okay and talked out once its explained and sometimes its not really talked out and will happen again, here mostly in connection with differences in behaviour (like discussing 1000 times that we are both to share not noly me. My husband comes from a fairly big family and has three siblings I am an only child but yet he is lousy in sharing and I am much better in spite of the fact people say only children are anti social and not taught to share as there are no siblings. His behaviour of just grabbing and wolfing down things meant to share has been the reason for 1000 discussions over time. heeeelp)

See you said husband. I never would expect a husband to share so... I wouldn't even ask him, I would just buy two of each thing we were to share and stash the second one. So when piggy eats his , I still have my own. I have a older sister but I was raised as a only child. I believe Everyone should have their own share.

I alway say exactly what I mean, and I always mean exactly what I say. Unfortunately Walker's been married 3 times, and had communication problems with them, although he tries to be clear with me. Sometimes I'll say something and he'll get mad saying I meant something else. I always tell him that I dont imply things, and if I meant what he thought I meant, I'd have said so long before he misinterpreted. Just take me literally, damn it!

I'm the same way. Thankfully my guy and I understand each other. I rarely have to explain my meaning.

I think that sometimes comunication glitches can happen, but it should be very rare, if I'd have to explain everything I said to my boyfriend in order for him to get it, we wouldn't be together by now. It's exhausting to feel you always need to explain yourself. I guess that repecting what the other person is saying is always important. It's great you get along so well with your guy!
