Communication Conundrum

Marriage depends on many things to be successful. Trust. Love. Communication. Time. Friendship. Understanding. Loyalty. These are just a few of the main things that a marriage need to thrive.

Usually when husbands and wives spend time together they have a chance to talk/communicate. Many know that Andrew and I are around each other almost 24/7 because we a lucky enough for him to work at home. However, in our case, "time together" doesn't always=great communication.

For example, this afternoon amidst Carson having a play date, Andrew was in the kitchen fixing something to eat and I was in the playroom...not that far from the kitchen; when Andrew initiated a conversation that went like this:

"Emma is no longer the top baby name."

Interested I replied, "Really?"

He said, "Guess what is?"

My response, "Guitar Hero?"

He laughed then said, "What did you think I said?"

Me, " Didn't you say Halo is no longer the top video game?"

It's a good thing it wasn't something important.

I went shopping today and came home and showed Andrew my three items. One of them being a swim suit. No, I am not planning a trip, I just really liked it. I wasn't going to try it on because it is really cold but I did and went to the office to show Andrew.

Me: "This is it! I really like it. They had it in yellow and beige, I couldn't decide"

Him: "It's a one piece?"

Me: isn't that obvious?

Him: "It's tight." Not tight as in cool but tight as in ?-disapproving?

Me: "That' s all you can say?"

Him: "I guess I haven't seen a swimsuit in awhile"

What?? Not what I was expecting...at all. I think he should get out of the house more often.
