My guy drives and drives and drives...in order to think. I can tell he is uneasy with me and our present situation since for the past week when I ask what he's doing...he replies 'driving', assuming he is alone? I have noticed that while I am riding with him...he has told me many personal stories and I just listen and let him talk. Of course, we have always had a destination but he has suggested we go here or there or just get out and drive. I would be totally up for it because I would then have his undivided attention. Unfortunately, that is a plan that rarely happens, as with most. :(
So hard to keep quiet as to not invade his privacy since I desire to relate in some tiny way. Would it be so awful if I asked questions?
 
I think a lot of "sufferers" like talking better if their hands have something to do. Mine for example likes talking while he repairs something or cleans something.

I am not sure but I have the hypothesis that men/mal sufferers do not like to look you into the eye while they tell emotionally difficult stuff because they do not want to have to read your face and they do not want you to read yours. That would make it more complicated gor them. "Uncouppeling" it from the "relationship stuff", having to watch the spouses reaction might help.

What is the question you want to ask?
