For as long as I can remember, I've always been most comfortable expressing myself in writing. This was certainly true when we started dating in high school, and it has never changed. It seems to me that you wrote letters back to me back then, too, but I could be remembering wrong. There have been quite a few sleeps since then.
You haven't said it, but I agree that you shouldn't have to read my blog to find out what I'm thinking and feeling. That is part of why I enjoy marriage encounter's dialogue process: it gives us a chance to share our selves with each other one-to-one. It eliminates the assumption that communication is just going to happen all by itself when it far more commonly gets lost in the shuffle of our busy lives. But you hate that approach, and I would rather suffer for myself than pressure you into an unpleasant experience every day, especially when you've already given it a fair try.
It's probably irrelevant that if you had a blog where you shared what was on your mind, I would read it religiously. If you enjoyed expressing yourself that way, we wouldn't be at odds in this area.
