[QUOTE="AppleCori, post: 697443, member: 16024"] Typically, men do not like to talk about/ruminate on things they can do nothing about/have no control over. Some of us female types like to talk things over and over. It's cathartic for us. My hubby has told me before that he doesn't want to talk about something because there is nothing he can do about it. He is naturally a very talkative and open person, and when he says this, I have to respect it. Some things, especially relating to his difficult adult child (when he was at his worst) were very painful. The fact that he had no control over any of it just made him feel bad. Ruminating over it didn't help him, and only made him feel worse. [/QUOTE]
