Question

Do you guys ever run out of things to talk about? If not whats your secrect?

and why is it that people in certain marriages say they have run out of things to talk about?

Answer 1

I have been married almost 23 years, and no, we haven't run out of things to talk about, at all!! I'm not sure it's the secret, but he is my best friend, and I can talk about anything with him, and he with me. We love laughing together, and just being together. There honestly isn't anything that we can't talk about together. We do of course have seperate interests, which I think is good, so can each learn from the other and ask questions about things they we may not understand, therefore leading to more topics of conversation. :) I think another secret is just to keep things fun...that's extremely important!!

Although we will soon celebrate our 23rd anniversary, I still often feel like a newlywed in many ways, thanks to him. I've been very lucky in love!

Answer 2

it's not that you run out of things to talk about, but everyone has to take time out from talking the same as any other activity. Sometimes the times is just right not to say anything and other times when you do have something to say, you say it.
Married almost 25years, often go through periods of silence, just stocking up for some real conversation. Don't Worry

Answer 3

The most of long-lasting couples eventualy go out of things to talk about, because the everyday routine forces them into it. For them it is not neccesary to talk about certain things - they just know what to do. They have got aquainted with each other so well, that they simply understand each other's needs and thoughts.

In cases when they don't know each other well, even after a long period of togetherness, it only means that they don't communicate enough. In such cases, they always have a topic to discuss, because they can't "predict" the answer.

Only if they are both very dynamic persons, they will always have something to talk about, presuming that they understant each other's needs and do not intend to stop mutual development.

Answer 4

When we don't have nothing to say or "run out of words",we just do something to laugh a while like making mad the teachers or other friends just for fun but everything with a limit.We also make history being sometimes the main attraction in school like a walking mummy covered with bathroom paper,starring at other students and following some hot chicks until they get mad and say:STOP FOLLOWING ME!!!,but we don't worry about getting our *** kicked 'cause they always show a pretty smile out of there faces.Everything to not be bored..........That's the TRICK!!!.

Answer 5

all the time, MY best friend and I have been friends since we were in 8th grade. We often run out of things to talk about and often times we can't stop talking. when we run out of things to talk about we just enjoy being around each other. Especially now since both our careers are busy ones. not to mention that we live in separate cities. We do e-mail each other every day with a good morning and a good evening. And I do know that when we need each other we are always there for each other.It has solidified our friendship.

Answer 6

After being married for 19 years and having two teenage boys, my husband and I seldom run out of things to talk about. There are times we prefer not to talk. We are quite comfortable with the silence. It's not that we're ignoring each other. We just understand each other so well. We also like new experiences even if it's only trying out a new restaurant in town. Anyone who says they run out of things to talk about really needs to try something new. People get stuck in ruts and new experiences are a way to get out of them.

Answer 7

Sometimes we just look at each other and laugh our heads off. I know what he's going to say, and he knows what I'm going to say. When I'm annoyed with him, I try to bite my cheeks so that I won't laugh, but that just gives it away. There's no secrets. We know each others' moods and almost to the point of finishing off each others' sentences. But this is nothing new. Growing up very close with my sister, we did that alot and also laughed alot. (We also fought alot too). The things we talk about: people, animals, religion, kids, money, movie plots,people, animals, religion, kids, food, cars, money. maybe because we live in a finite world. Mostly we live in a community that is really alive. I can't believe half the things that go on around here. This is the source of alot of our conversations, but you know, we don't conversate as much as we did in the good old days when we wer naive and dramatic.

Answer 8

No...we have our own interests and hobbies as well as similar ones. We do our own thing and have different careers. If both your minds are open and both of you are willing to listen to what the other has to say then topics for discussion are endless. Live your lives to the fullest, reach and go beyond your potental, and be interested in the world and others around you... do these things and you will not run out of things to talk about.

Answer 9

Been with the same woman for over 28 years, never run out of things to talk about, she is knowledgeable about a great many things and we keep up with local and world events.

If a man says something and no woman hears him is he still wrong?

Answer 10

At times in any relationship you run out of things to talk about. HOWEVER, the secret is to be comfortable with SILENCE between you.

People that think you have to be talking all the time are INSECURE.
Marriages in which people SAY they have run out of things to talk about are either : a) kidding b) not communicating or : c) pretending to be IN a marriage.
