We need to talk...

Why is it when my wife says "We need to talk" It doesn't really me "we" -- It means "I" want to talk, "I" want you to listen, "I" want you to agree 100% with everything "I'm" about to say, "I" don't want you to interupt, "I" want you to have no different opinion then what "I" have.

Whenever somone anounces "we need to talk", it generally isn't a good thing. I guess if they didn't announce it they would just "talk" and the conversation would be fine.


Yep "WE" need to talk has a whole other meaning.

you mean like when they kick you in the nards?


That usually gets my attention pretty quick, but they might as well not talk to me afterwards, cause at that time there is only one thing on my mind... OUCH!!

Have to agree with everyone on this one don't they realize as soon as they say "We need to talk"we are going into defensive mode?

I used to do that to Julie all the time, just to get her goat... the first time I did it, she started crying, "this is it isn't it? you're going to break up with me!"

I know it was mean, but I did that so often, pretty soon, it was just a smirk from her, and she would laugh.. you're not going to get me on that one again.

It`s the same kind of thing when you`re dating and then you get "I just wanna be friends". You`re like, WHAT?

well, this doesn't have much to do with this thread, but the common line I used to get was "its just that you're too nice"
What were they looking for? Someone that wanted to give them a black eye?

When women go to women school, I think that is what they do when they all go to the bathroom together, the "We need to talk." phrase one of the first they learn.

Women don't understand that us men are simple creatures. I used to think we only cared about 3 things, but really there are probably 4 when you add in trucks and or stuff with motors. The other three are food, sex, and beer. Mostly if we have that we are happy simple sorts of creatures.

Most of what we do is related to getting the four basic things.

I like Jeff Foxworth's idea on this. When that we need ta talk thing comes up. Give short yes and no answeres till ya find out what it's all about. Like get'n stopped by the police. No use admiting to something they don't know about yet.

But as ole Aaron tippin said in a song it's not the one you can live with, it's the one ya can't live without.
