My jealousy, but that broods other problems because I become a brat.
The bummer part of this is I can see you holding your tongue! lol
Well, I figure it's better that than lashing out and saying something I regret.

...I still prefer to hold my tongue about it. I speak my mind about most things, but there are things I never have addressed and never will. Ignorance is bliss, and in time I figure that if I don't bring it up, I can forget and be happy and no boat will have been rocked.
Nothing. It is far better to be open.
I have to hold my tongue if I think of a marriage related joke, just in case the mere mention of it freaks him out (I'm not even thinking about it yet, it's just a 'thing'). Other than that I don't hold my tongue because I've seen how a lack of communication wrecks a relationship.
I hold my tongue when i'm about to mention something perverted, coz I don't want her to see me as a typical sex-hungry asshole guy who only cares about her for her looks and her body. She deserves more than that.
I can never hold my tongue...for long
I don't hold my tongue permanently, but will hold it when I get mad so I can sort out my thoughts and feelings, then talk about it when I've cooled off a bit.
Money
when we want to take naps in the afternoon-----he is not ready--- what is the big deal-----I just wait till he is---not!!!! When I am sleepy I am sleepy
I'm pretty open and we don't hold tongues too often. Usually when it does occur about money or house work, but very rare.
I have a difficult time holding my tongue. But he sometimes makes me feel guilty for going to grad school and with wedding planning; like I'm holding him back.

when i sleep more than him, he counts number of hours i slept and tells me....i hold my tongue because even if i say anything, he always has an argument ready.
if I held my tongue the first time, I'm not spilling now!
