I am NOT looking to divorce him ! I DO love him and have for over 30yrs of (happy) marriage.
HOWEVER my dh never answers the question I ask. I am only just becoming aware of this these past few years but I think he has always done it really. I ask straight questions like "I want to re-decorate the lounge, shall we have plastered and painted walls or stick to wallpaper?".
He responds with "if we plaster and paint I do not want a dark colour, and if we wallpaper the same really".
I get a good idea of what he doesn't want but not what he does want. I have asked him to actually answer the question I ask but this sounds rude and he gets hurt by my being so blunt as he thinks he has answered the question!
Is he the world's perfect husband (non confrontational and a perfect sounding board for my ideas) or is he the worst (frustrating and never gives me an idea of what he really wants).
If you compare him with your partners, how similar is your experience?
