You know, I’ve realized that while I thought that my husband and I have excellent communication skills, there are a number of convictions that we are just dead wrong about. For example:

Bert thought that the apartment that we bought was my first choice, I thought we were comprimising.

I thought that Bert liked steamed pork dumplings, he actually hates them.

Bert thought that I remembered a conversation we had two months ago about home owners insurance.

I thought that Bert remembered a conversation we had two weeks ago about golf shirts.

Yep it turns out that Bert and I are very good at communicating, when we know that we need to communicate something, the rest of the time we float along in apparent oblivion. My goodness, this whole relationship thing is harder than it looks!
