re: Do you and your spouse talk about everything?

quote:This is horrible advice. Marriages thrive when both spouses are comfortable being vulnerable and trust the other. Of course, many marriages are not like that, and in situations where one spouse is manipulative and/or abusive, one has to protect himself or herself.
but don’t ever share your vulnerabilities.
But when both spouses are on the same page, man, the emotional and physical intimacy lead to profound love and numerous blessings.

^ this is us as well. Even our kids know that as soon as they tell one of us something, the other will know about it immediately. My wife is quite literally my best friend, we tell each other everything from the mundane to whatever juicy gossip the other hears.

We used to do the date night thing, but honestly going out eating is one of the best ways to sit down with the whole family and catch up.

She uses gestures and different types of grunts to communicate.
Lol not really, just something I joke about since she really is autistic.
When she's been around kids all day at work she's pretty much non verbal when she gets home from being overstimulated. I pretty much talk at her and she doesn't say much. She talks my head off on the weekends, though. She will info dump about quilting, sourdough, railway systems, Amazon shipping logistics, and different types of knitting/crochet knots.

Hell no. She can't use logic or reason half the time so why would I try to have a logical conversation with her?
Posted on 12/10/25 at 8:29 am to LSU6262
No. I can't criticize or correct her about an issue without her getting defensive and irritable.

Terrible advice. Or you married wrong.
Why would you choose to spend your life with someone that you cannot share your vulnerabilities with?

My wife talks about everything. More than I could even follow.
I tell her the stuff I think is relevant.

Lol - I thought maybe you were the guy married to the DataRepublican gal on X.
Posted on 12/10/25 at 8:43 am to LSU6262
I share everything. Even the stuff I don't want her to know, I'd rather piss her off when I tell her than get it double time for hiding something.
I don't know if she tells me everything, but I damn sure do. I'm honest and transparent to a fault.
She knows better than to ask me a question she doesn't want to hear the honest answer to.

We do that as well, normally Saturday and/or Sunday is family night.
Friday and sometimes Wednesday is date night.
I think it is important for kids to still see their parents as a couple in love. In the end it should always be God -> spouse -> kids. Your spouse is the only person you choose to love.

Same.
Wouldn't have it any other way.
Posted on 12/10/25 at 8:46 am to LSU6262
I'm not sure if she's telling me everything, but I know she talks incessantly.
And I know I don't listen to half of what she says. But we talk about the important things.
I have no desire to share every thought that enters my head with her. Wish she would reciprocate.

Yep. Like I said, she’s quite literally my absolute best friend and I am hers. We know everything about one another and can be completely open, honest, and vulnerable with one another.

I have meditated on this incredible, simple concept so much... and made sure my children understand it as well. It really is a big deal and I wish everyone took it as seriously as it deserves.

quote:you can tell us
For example, a friend told me a particularly ugly rumor he had heard. Whether true or not, it has absolutely no effect on my wife or our marriage or family. I have not repeated it to anyone, nor will I.

Nah, I don't really like to talk and she definitely doesn't like to listen.

Maybe they just don't communicate like that in front of you.

Yes. I think it's very weird when people who are married or even dating for any length of time haven't put most of it on the table.
"I'm starting to realize my boyfriend of 2+ years might be a conservative" or "I was planning to get married to my gf of 4 years, but in the lead up I'm having doubts about our compatibility on religion" are common Reddit-type topics and just strike me as completely bizarre.
