    I had just bought a Camry Hybrid and my wife and I were driving in it doing errands… I have a tell when something is on my mind and my wife invariably asks what it is. Usually it really isn’t anything significant and that time was no different…

    Except…

    I launched into a very detailed explanation as to how the Toyota Hybrid Synergy system really works and it lasted till we got home… Did I mention we had three stops and we’re on our way to the first?

    She has not asked what is on my mind since.

      This is a tragedy to me, one of the many reasons I married my wife is because she’s the only person who has ever been excited to hear my info dumps.

        She still asks on occasion, but she takes me more seriously when I say it’s nothing all that important.

        Oh if I’m thinking through something that we both need to have a say in I absolutely share my thoughts as she does with me. j

          That’s a bit more comforting to hear. I love a story about healthy communication.

          My spouse now knows more about 3d printing and the complex geopolitical state of fantasy settings than most actual fans do.
