Yes!! He is awesome at that..

No he assumes am birching

Yes, all the time :)

Most of the time.

There are many levels of listening. If we are talking about the details of the day, it's not necessarily "active" listening. It's more about communicating facts. On the other hand, if we are talking emotions, feelings, and deeper issues, we typically take time to find a quiet place, face each other, and talk. This involves much more "active" listening - and a much higher focus on making sure the receiver understands the message the sender is trying to communicate.

Yes, but sometimes it's hard to tell by her nonverbal queues. So sometimes ill ask her to repeat what I said and for the most part she will :).

Yeah he does. I'm just not a good talker sometimes
