Thanks for the replies. Not all women are yakers and some men are guilty of those same kind of things I mentioned.
But I just get pummeled but the torrent of words and verbal maneuvers. I don't like having to play chess with words, wondering if something I said will be used in ten minutes or ten days to back me into a corner. I have learned to not say what I really feel. As a man I have learned that if what I am saying can be misinterpreted to the negative, it will be! The less I say, the less I have to defend.
My lady is always telling me how she was planning this great surprise or that cool thing to show me she loves me, but because of something I said I won't be getting this kindness now! BS! I used to call her bluff, now I just roll my eyes and walk away.
All men should be glad that rolling your eyes is silent, if your eyes made the sound of marbles rolling on steel the next sound that would accompany it would be the whap of your lady smacking you upside the head. All over the Earth those two sounds would be inexorably linked!
