1 9 MAIL TRIBUNE, Medford, Or.
Friday, Jan. 1, 1960
Family
Council
Sylvia T. - He doesn't talk
to me anymore.
Charles T. - Her babbling
drives me crazy.
Sylvia T. - My husband and
I have been married five
years and have two children.
We get along pretty well, but
we have one problem that is
really driving me crazy.
Charles was always "the
quiet type." I guess I thought
it was sort of cute when we
were going together. He just
seemed shy. But now he
doesn't talk as much as he
used to and he doesn't even
answer me when I talk to
him.
All day I am left alone with
the two kids and then when
Charles comes home I hardly
know he is there. He sits and
reads the papers or watches
TV and tells me I'm annoying
him when I try to talk to him.
Charles T. I know I'm not
the talkative type, but I never
pretended to be. I didn't sell
Sylvia a bill of goods. I am
the way I am.
Sylvia thinks she's going
crazy, but she doesn't know
how she drives me crazy with
that constant babbling. It
starts the minute I get in the
house and doesn't stop until
she falls asleep - all nonsense
about the neighbors, her fam
ily, the kids, the delivery man,
something she saw on the
street.
Sylvia says that if I loved
her I'd talk to her, but I don't
see what it has to do with
love. I don't believe in talk
ing for the sake of making a
noise. She does.
The Council: We doubt that
any woman has ever gotten a
man to talk by crying "You
never talk to me any more!"
If anything is calculated to
shut a man up that phrase is.
However a woman who
must spend her entire day
talking to children or to other
women about household mat
ters, needs and deserves the
benefit of adult conversation
with her husband in the eve
ning. The husband, on the other
hand, has probably spent the
day in contact with others,
has exchanged a few words
with friends, acquaintances
and co-workers, and looks for
ward to an evening spent pas
sively. He just doesn't want
to make the effort of con
versational interchange.
If husbands and wives could
imagine themselves in the
other's position, they might be
willing to make a greater ef
fort to make things more
pleasant for one another. Syl
via is, in a sense, quite right
when she feels that her hus
band would talk to her if he
loved her enough. Love is the
incentive that makes us for
get our selfish inclinations in
the desire to understand and
be of service to another.
Charles should make an ef
fort to talk to his wife of the
day's happenings, even if it
hurts at first. If he listens
attentively and tries to make
a contribution to the conver
sation he may find that there
is much that isn't trivial in
what his wife has to say.
Sylvia should make conver
sation more fun by avoiding
the whining complaining kind
of talk and trying to find in
teresting or amusing anec
dotes to relate. She should
also try to keep herself in
formed so that she can talk
to her husband about some of
his favorite subjects. And the
couple should entertain or go
out together as often as pos
sible to bring variety and
more interest into their life.
