Who has deep, ethereal conversations all the time...are you kidding me. He is weary...on that particular day. Doing time is about being bored and scared all at the same time. It is an odd combination of emotions.<BR/><BR/>And at the same time, quality conversations are sustaining and lingers long after the phone hangs up. <BR/><BR/>Keep the faith!Babz Rawls Ivyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04059921674059371076noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21175262.post-72864175171474884132008-06-11T17:26:00.000-07:002008-06-11T17:26:00.000-07:00torrance: i feel you. i feel the same way!<B>torrance</B>: i feel you. i feel the same way!the prisoner's wifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11160398635149797677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21175262.post-68165022090106329862008-06-11T09:23:00.000-07:002008-06-11T09:23:00.000-07:00talking is over rattedits all about actions to metalking is over ratted<BR/>its all about actions to meAll-Mi-T [Thought Crime] Rawdawgbuffalohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08843040863123899426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21175262.post-48908602468551151072008-06-10T21:12:00.000-07:002008-06-10T21:12:00.000-07:00tc: yeah, it's the little things i miss, but when ...<B>tc</B>: yeah, it's the little things i miss, but when we are on a visit, they return. i'm far from unhappy, we are just comfortable, ya know?<BR/><BR/><B>CapCity</B>: true. that transition will take some time. i think right now we are both super idealistic about what we be because we NEED to be in order to maintain sanity. but you're correct, that's something we will definitely have to talk about in depth.<BR/><B>Sista GP</B>: ain't it hard? i am getting more comfortable with being here alone, which probably makes this level of conversation decrease. we both do the same things everyday & not much changes. maybe EYE need to do something for the both of us. go somewhere different, see something, report back. who knows.<BR/><BR/><B>Xtina</B>: thank you sis. i know all couples go through it. my grandparents didn't talk that much either, but when something big happened, they discuss it.

Later we discovered the cause of the situation and it was easily resolved. <BR/>We talked about it and realized the anxiety was caused by him not being home. See, the week he was home for our move was the first time since October 2002 that three of us spent an entire week together. After we talked about his feelings, he felt much better.<BR/><BR/>It is best to discuss your emotions, not letting it fester into negativity.Sista GPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06782105568336804901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21175262.post-18486876076858647522008-06-10T13:09:00.000-07:002008-06-10T13:09:00.000-07:00i can't relate - but i do hope you're also discuss...i can't relate - but i do hope you're also discussing the reality of an awkward transition when he returns home that will take time ....<BR/><BR/>keeping u in prayer!CapCityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03772430267433358900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21175262.post-52172090723161528332008-06-10T11:22:00.000-07:002008-06-10T11:22:00.000-07:00i can relate...true he is "here" and we are a "nor...i can relate...true he is "here" and we are a "normal" couple, BUT he is his own boss so we don't see each other much, and our conversations have just hit a wall so to speak too...but like you said its the non verbal communication, the touch, the looks, the laughter at the simple things..and all those things are still there in the midst and in time i believe they will truly be back for you i think all couples "normal" and not so normal have periods where you hit that wall and then its just time to try something different...even if its just telling the latest gossip to spark a laugh...LOL...<BR/><BR/>you two will be just fineT.a.c.Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03764565798496512732noreply@blogger.com
