Do you talk to respond or to listen?

My husband always says i talk to respond/reply and end the conversation. Yeah I agree i am more eager to end conversation than prolong it, which is not a very good character. How about you?

If the conversation is good I keep it going.

Listen then comment is the good way,I think. I hate responding when I am not yet finished talking.

True. But can you always give your best when the other person talks too much

@Sam_graphixer I have anxiety and depression. May be because of that I am frustrated most of the time.

I am a good listener, I am hungry of input . You have to be a fighter in a psywar. Just listen first and know when you will enter. Putting all your wordings inside of you will build up and soon will burst hitting him like bullets that hurt more and harm more and that might be forever putting to an end all future conversation between you and your husband. So when the atmosphere is getting hotter, take a deep breath, inhale, exhale and do that outside your home

True, having too much building up inside is going to harm me. I am planning to start do something for mindfullness.
