My special lady stopped talking!

[Boston Rockbury]

I was whining on to a dude about how my special lady talks me to death.
I expected some sympathy but he said "you are very undude with her man. Chicks keep talkin til you listen - and you don't listen"

So i said "okay dude what am I supposed to say when she gives me the "I don't know why we moved to France, I feel so lonely here, i haven't got any friends" vibe?

"What do you normally say?"

I tell her the truth "you complained every day about the shit weather in England. You wanted to move. We can't just go back because the kids are in school here and you haven't got any friends because you never bothered to learn French."

"Totally undude man - you haven't got a fucking clue how to listen".

Anyhow, he trained me up a little and two days ago the special one came out with the same old lines.

I said "what I'm hearing is that you really miss your good friends back in Hastings. That you need people around you that you feel close to and the way you feel isolated is driving you nuts......."

She didn't say anything else and seemed kinda more relaxed.

Next day she said "I've realised that I actually have some good friends here. And Lisa is coming to visit from New York next week. I guess I can fly to England any time I want and see my old friends.

18 fucking years dude! She's been saying stuff and I've been backing off from the verbal onslaught.
I am one slow learner. Oh and by the way thanks John - best advice ever dude.
