As You Hold Back Your Thoughts Poem by Doris Cornago

The lack of communication between couples drive a wedge between them although they live in the same house, share the same table for meals, share the same room and share the same bed. As a woman, I thrive with daily conversation with another human, most especially if that person is my husband. Not to be talked to is worst than being a dog in the house who at least gets a pat on the head. This woman is so unlike me as she tolerates this indifference of her spouse and just cried on her pillow due to his inattentiveness. Or she must have put up a wall of silence between her and her spouse for a possible infidelity. What are some of the reasons a man will refuse to talk with his wife? I think a cold treatment is the saddest situation between a couple, for whatever reason.
