Shut me up

What is it about what I say that puts you off so completely?
Or is it the way I say it? Or is it just me that makes you want to shut me up?

Last night I tried talking to him about what most couples usually talk about after they've been married so long - kids. He said he didn't want to talk about it. So what's weird, you ask, he just might not want to talk about it. Well, we used to talk a lot about having children when we were dating. But there has been an uneasy silence on the topic since we got married. I sensed he did not want to talk about kids yet. So I didn't, all these years... But it was after great deliberation that I broke the silence, because someone had to. And it was with great love that I broached the topic. He shut me up, snubbed me, just like that.

So I changed tracks. Became funny. Maybe that's what he'd like to see? But that put him off too... I tried being myself and that was too kiddish for him. Oh no! I was "acting" like a kid. No, I'm not cute and I'm not grwon up, I'm not emotional, I'm just stupid. So fine, I'll shut up. Now you talk.

sometimes instead of looking into future concentrete on the present and see what u really have...if u want a child then make it clear and tell him why...men are like little kids not women...they need to be told things like u tell a 5 year old...hope it wrks...i got this frm my mother and i try this alwys.....

First time here(thru D). Read the posts of the previous year. And my heart aches for you. Somewhere amidst it all, I see a small part of me as well..So even though i havent read your recent posts, which I will now, I`d like to say something to you - even if it pains real bad, dont think of kids till you`ve salvaged your relationship completely. Its the only wise thing to do, my friend..
