Why Do Some Older Men Think They Don't Have To Communicate With Their Wives Anymore?

I am so sick and tired of being sick and tired! I want my husband to start answering up for his lack of communication and his non interest in our life together as an aging couple. When I ask questions, I can't help but think, I am looking for a real answer... NOT,


1. I don't know

2. Do what you want to do

3. What ever you want to do

4. It's up to you

5. What ever is easiest for you

6...lovin this one "I can't answer that question"



Duh..Y?...Does some one have a gun pointed to your head? If so, they have my permission to pull the trigger.



Com'on, you can't give me a simple answer to a simple question like: "what veggie would you like today with your pork chop"? Is that one of those life altering questions that take years to answer?



Why do some men think it's KOOL to be a J-e-r-k with egos as big as their beer belly's, who are older than Cooter Brown and don't need anything in their lives but the remote

This is not a symptom of older men. It is a symptom of couples in general. When the day to day activities are higher priority such as kids, we tend not to notice the lack of communication as much. When the kids grow up and move out we are left with something that was already there.

Its not just men, and not just aging couples. I'm thinking you guys may need to shake off the routines of life and spice things up. It can be going out to somewhere new, or as simple as making tea and eating ice cream together. It depends on the person...perhaps he is depressed.

because women are mind readers and silence is golden.

Somebody needs a hug! As and older guy, I can say that tallboy61 is correct. I will ask my wife something, and she says nothing, not knowing that I'm still looking at her. When I ask her again, she says that she already answered me, and that it is my problem if I didn't hear her. It is the person.

Over time couples know each other very well.

Have an affair, it will give the two of you something to talk about.

Methinks the answer to the question lies in verbosity of the questioner ... *ducks a slap*
