How do you and your husband communicate? I think it might be a great lesson for a lotta men here.
Well, we don't text a lot, neither of us are big texters, never were. Like you, we value each other's "presence" more and we communicate when together. Like I said though, he's not big on verbal displays of affection but he shows his love through action. By doing.
Which is what I prefer, it's how my late dad was too. Exact same. Strong but stoic for lack of a better word.
Words without action don't mean a hill of beans to me, although I realize most women are BIG into words and verbal displays of affection. And of course receiving LOTS of attention, which despite what some posters here believe, I don't. Never did even as a kid. There's a story behind that but that's for another thread.
We are both very into music, and when he sent that video, it spoke so much to me about how he felt, which melted my heart tbh.
My honest opinion is that when two people click and on the same wavelength and vibrational level, simply being in each other's presence and feeling each other's energy can be enough.
We can laugh, joke, banter. We can be serious when necessary. He even cried with me when my brother passed away recently. Not crying like I was crying, but there were tears.
We are also comfortable being quiet together. For example, at the park under a tree reading our books with his head on my lap or vice versa. Stuff like that. He will even read to me sometimes. I find those times to be some of the most endearing and intimate actually.
The full gamut.
Our relationship is unique, not sure it would fly for other couples but works for us.
