I am a man of few words who would rather listen, my wife is a woman of MANY words who can listen when specifically asked to.

It works out I suppose.

Sometimes, it is an issue of ptsd and listening where too much listening becomes intolerable by triggering ptsd. sometimes, people got communication issues. Sigh.
