In Tan Beng Seng class. Was following the lesson very dilligently till he lost me and i just stopped listening.

Till he said something.

He said that it is scientifically proven that men has to speak only an average of 10,000 words per day and us, woman, on the other hand, has to speak 4 times more than man, which is like 40,000 words.
It is because of this that many marriages are in a lot of stress but i cannot see how it can cause so much stress. K, imagine this scenario.

The normal, domestic woman would be at home, taking care of the household and the children and maybe the cat. There's only so much you can talk about with the couch and the cat and your 2 year old child. So, when the husband comes back after many meetings at work which would have caused his quota to have already been used up, he just wants to shut up.

Now, this can cause many scenarios. One, the man would flare up with irritance, then the woman would go on a rant about how the guy does not love her, blah blah. Because she must talk! To the perosn she's the most comfortable with. Or, this is when the woman has to attain the skill of just talking without expecting much facial expression from the husband's response. And this is when the men have to be smart enough to nod and shake their heads appropriately and be prepared for the mini quizzes the girl has to test whether you are listening or not. Either that or he should get a blind wife and the husband just have to invest in good earmuffs. Or, better yet, get a mute wife because we are never shutting up. NEVER!!!!
Deal with it.
