[QUOTE="tim2000s, post: 1117052, member: 30007"] I'm with [USER=211504]@TorqPenderloin[/USER] on this one. One thing men can't do is read minds. My partner tells me explicitly what she thinks. There is no room for misinterpretation that way. Likewise, I am the same with her. When it becomes difficult is when you don't have an open dialogue about things. If one is always guessing what the other wants then it isn't constructive. (I've been there too) At any point in this conversation, did you say "Honey, I'd like us to spend some time together please. You've seen quite a lot of your friends already this week"? Your comment may have been intended to be a barbed commentary on the fact that you feel he isn't spending time with you, but unless you tell him, (and let's face it, it was last minute, so you legitimately could have said "I'd rather you didn't"), he can't know and you effectively give him the go ahead. Believe me, most guys much prefer to be openly told what you think than to be left to guess and discover that you're really ****** about something that they haven't been able to interpret. [/QUOTE]
