I Love Intelligent Men

I Want A Man That Can Speak In Complete Sentences... Is that too much to ask?  I want him to tell me what he wants, wishes, desires, hopes for ...his fears, his angst, his passions.  And i promise to listen.

I married a man who could not communicate. He spoke in monosyllables..We were together long enough I could translate his silences but I did not want to.  I wanted someone to talk to....I would have settled for yes's and no's but all i got were grunts..

.One night I asked him a question...I knew better than to wait for a reply..there would not be one.  so I answered for him as I knew him so well.  He looked at me and said "What do you need me for?"   I told him "I think you answered your own question"

Lack of communication was one of the causes of my marriage failing..So on my application for the perfect mate, he must be able to talk in complete sentences will be on the list.

We should have swapped spouses. My wife does not like to talk about things. And that one characteristic, probably more than any other, has led to our impending divorce. I cannot count the number of one-sided conversations that I have had with that woman over the years.
