My hubby has this knack of knowing if I am worried about anything , since he had the bypass operation I try so hard not to give him any unnecessary worries ,mum and dad both have Alzheimer's and both still at home and I care for them , anyway today was a bit of a worry today at their house when I was there and hubby kept asking me what was wrong , I said "nothing" he said he knew that there was and after a time he told me the secret , he said when I am worried I get out of breath , I never noticed this , just shows you though that if you have been married for 45 years you know all the little things about each other , Bless him xxx

no one knows when I am worrying about something other than myself. I will get real quiet or will be pacing or whatever it takes to calm myslef down. I seem to be invisible. I do not think anyone ever pays attention or worries about how I am feeling. I have tried to explain myselfover and over, especially to my husband and daughter but they still to this day never see when something is bothering me. Alot of times, I feel like I or my emotions exist. I feel like I am here to sulk all alone. I hate it but I do not have anyone who wants to know and understand how I am and when something is concerning me. It is very lonesome and weird and I struggle with it alot.

Yes people I know do know when I am worried about something even when I do not say anything I do believe that they can sense something is wrong. Sometimes we do, have changes in our mood or just the way we react but my youngest daughter and myself are so close we do not even have to be in the same room, or anywhere near each other to know if something is wrong with one of us we can sense it or we get a sign and then we contact the other one and sure enough something is wrong and we have been like this for many years even whilst living 500 miles away from each other.

I have realy a few people in my life with whom I have this kind of chemistry.First is my mother .If there is something wrong say a fight going on she calls at that moment.I have a friend who too understands when i m worried and calls and is my great support.
But one very important instance regarding this topic has happend in my life.I have a younger brother ,who had gone for further education abroad.He came home just for 15days by taking extra holidays because he just wanted that.Then he planed an outing with his friends on one saturday.Back at home our 48yrs old father had had an massive heartattck.
He left the trip without any reason and came back home and was there to hold my father when he was falling down.He was just a 18yrs boy at that time.Being married I wasnt there.Mom couldnt understand what to do.He understood how I dont know that this could be an attack and admitted him.He saved my father Now he is healty again.

Most people don't know when I have a lot of worry or stress in my life. I do pretty good at covering those things up to most of the world. Still, people that are very close to me can catch on. I'm sure it's in the eyes or smile or something. One of my friends told me that no matter how much I smiled or laughed, he could see it in my eyes. He claims the eyes talk and I believe that they do.

I know...i get that too. People ask me all the time how I can be so carefree. they don't believe me when I say that I'm not really. On the rare occassion that I have been unable to cover my negative moods, they get all worried as if i am heading for a breakdown. Some are under the very false impression that I just don't ever get upset or angry. My kids would testify that is just not true. I just tell them to consider themselves very lucky that they have not been a victim of my wrath....it is not pretty. They think i'm being funny but i'm not.

Yes my Son and my Daughter always know when something is up with me and they wil always ask no matter how much I try to hide it they know. But I am the same with them I know even now when something is up with them. And I know this might sound strange but sometimes I get the feeling I have to phone them I just know one of them is not right and it is always the case. It is strange lol

That is really sweet of him wee, my mom immediately knows when I'm upset or worried because my voice gives it away. I can't hide emotions very well but with strangers I can pull it off, they wouldn't know even if I've been crying a minute ago..but mom..she knows instantly. My parents live overseas and so we talk to each other almost every day. The day I don't call mom knows something's up..hubby too knows when I don't talk much. I'm always jabbering away non-stop, so when I'm quiet and lost in thought he knows I'm worrying about something.

My hubby can tell when I'm not feeling well, worrying about something, or something is stressing me out. Thankfully I can talk with him about anything, but sometimes I do need a shove to get the talking started. I tend to be a worry-wart about things, and he's helped me to reason and rationalize it all out.
It's nice to have a soul-mate :o)

I think it's because you 2 understand each other so well. That's why you can communicate without words. Strangers or those who don't know each other that well can't do that.

Hi weemam.. Tsferrets(Tammy here)yes my husband knows.. Usually because I get quite..Or my mind wonders.. But whatever it is he knows.. We've been together 21 years.. He's 69 and I'm 49 now and we think so much alike he can be thinking of making himself some popcorn and I'll blurt out "feel like some popcorn".. I don't usually eat it cause I hate it getting stuck in my teeth so I'll usually pass.. You know what I mean though.. Anyway aren't those golden years and growing old together great.. I've got him convinced he's not allowed to die until at least 100 cause it's not fair for him to ask me to spend the rest of my life with him and then him die and leave me a young widow..I think it works .. I keep him young and he's helped me grow up..Nice partnership..Tammy

Too true. Hubby and I have been married 4 years and known each other 8 years and he knows as well. Even when I say 'nothing's wrong' he just 'knows' something is up. He says I just get very quiet and start chewing on the corner of my lip. I was never aware I do it :) I think we know each other quite well as he starts getting frown lines on his forehead :D

Me and my father shared a very special bonding.he could always tell when i was worried and similarly i could sense when he was.I knew how he used to get affected by my problems and so I would worry more lest he comes to know about my stress.
Now I and my elder daughter share the same bonding and we are like soulmates.

Yes, I think it is normal. When you love someone usually you can understand what he thinks or the mood without any words. There are signs that people very close to us can understand and maybe we don't know to do.

Yes, I think some do. i can tell when I know someone si worried, and or concern about something. If you are close to them, you can usually tell something is bothering them even though, they may be trying to hide it. i have believed I was acting normally, but I guess, I wasn't because peple would comment and ask if there was something bothering me.
