Skelly, if a man comes home upset and does not want to talk to you it's not you that is bothering him. Give him time and space and he'll let you know what is on his mind. I think that would have saved me/us from many a arguments.

Yu get what I am saying though?

<div class="ubbcode-block"><div class="ubbcode-header">Originally Posted By: SweptAway_ILP</div><div class="ubbcode-body">this is interesting, but i dont think relationship (not sex) is something that is &quot;taught&quot; per se (ie. conversation). it is something that you kind of have to learn by watching. You watch, you see, you may ask a question here and there (if you have that kind of relationship with the people that you are watching) and you learn.

at least that is how i grew up and learn how to live with a man. then a lot of things you have to just learn on your own while you are in the middle of it, you have to seek the answers for yourself. </div></div> </div></div>

i get what you're saying, but in your example...my mother wouldnt have had to literally say that to me (although she may have and I just forgot), all I had to do was watch how she related to my dad (or how she related to my brothers (not in a sexual way, but as a female to a male in general) and I learned.

Then again, I am not the type of learner that learns by being told necessarily. I learn by observation.

I learned about romantic relationships and sex on the mean streets of Ames, Iowa.

That's the <span style="font-style: italic">incidental learning</span> I referred to in my earlier post.

i agree with this. relationships and how to manage them is and ought to be shared knowledge. i've already started talking to my daughters about the issues that came up in the relationship between my father and me, so they have a sense of the dynamics that crop up in a marriage.
</div></div>arent you the same one who admittedly took there daughters to gay pride day?
so your also teaching them the aspects of same sex relationships are we? </div></div>
