- I think this is often true, as diatribes...er "dialogues" in this and other
- newsgroups frequently attest. Many men not only feel but understand that
- they feel and admit to it. Many women, in addition to feeling, can think
- as well.

- On the whole, yes he does. And I know him pretty well too. Neither of
- us is psychic, and both have made more than our share of mistakes. But we
- do talk almost everything out. I think that helps our ability to
- understand one another.
-
- Most couples I know who have successfully maintained long-term relationships
- seem to have the same capability.
