Same for me. I told T, "now I realize how bad it sounds when I try to do the psychoanalyzing." I am the professional comedian, after all - I got paid once. He said, oh, you go by the old Olympic amateur definition! We've both told each other that we sound like MY mother - that's pretty bad. And i've also blurted out, "You never listen to me!" which of course is ludicrous, he spends the whole time listening to me, but he actually looked guilty - I think he hears it at home. But for some reason, I did feel unheard. Not anymore, though, our communication is much improved. And so are his jokes
