Mrs Dub and I are very small on the small talk. We can spend hours without a word, if there's nothing to say. We both like it that way. Your mileage will vary.

True peace is reading together. The happy silence of an engrossing book. :)

Of course the modern day equivalent of that is both sitting on the same sofa, separate laptops, separate retro games (her = puzzle bobble, me = worms armageddon) and not a word exchanged, apart from expletives.

Wouldn't catch me and the Mrs doing that, oh no, not us....eh dear? :innocent: :lol: :oops:

Sounds like how it was (and still is) between my ex-bf (i.e., my best pal on the planet) and me. No forced or pointless chatter, because the mutual quiet wasn't "threatening" or awkward.

I need to find another guy who enjoys the silence... :von:

i like to listen music in silence and my wife often breacks my ecstasy saying" you know that guy did that thing" or similar....wtf i care?.....is it too twisted to be understood?

Ok thanks, mostly sounds like comfortable silences, even your example weebs...which are great but not as much fun or discomfort as the tense unspeakableness of something not being said, never mind the circumstance has passed.

@James - is that how to interpret a meaningful silence or do you need to be blunter about some matter :P

best example PiB, again maybe it's a comfotable silence, in itself a meaningful understanding

:kiss:
