listening...

I have a co-worker that has been married for 22 years and recently finds her husband in a compromising position with another woman... she is divorcing him...

she is a person who talks constantly (even worse than me...) and she knows something about everything (again, even worse than me...) we joke here at the office that if we said we know someone with prostate cancer, she would say that she had that before... it is very annoying to say the least...

I keep to myself at my job... stay in my office much of the time... don't really talk personally with anyone... so this morning as I am making my hot tea, the boss comes to me and tells me this person had said yesterday that she told her husband he never talked to her...

sirens go off... lights flashing...

this man talked to her... or at least he tried to some time... and she didn't hear him... she was always thinking of what her answer would be while he was telling her his side... and I could see that I could easily have this same issue... I wonder how many divorces are caused by women who never listen... or at least this is a contributing factor...

most men really don't usually talk all that much anyway... so I am thinking that when they do, it is VERY important for a woman to know how to be a listener... not always a talker...
