I'm a talk-aholic. My poor husband has been trying to get me into treatment for a while now. I am no longer in denial about this, I just haven't gotten to the stage where I want to give it up yet!

All kidding aside, I find the use of words disparity true in my household. I feel like I have to talk about my day to "get it off my chest" and then I am fine. If not, I feel burdened.

Hubby is okay with "How was your day?" "Fine."

On the other hand, if he is passionate about an "issue" he can out chat me in a skinny minute. Perhaps it's not that the ability is lacking in our men. Perhaps it is simply lack of "motivation" to communicate.
