When it's men and women, like maybe at work? I've read that studies show that men are the interrupters.

I used to hate when my t talked. I would think, why is he using up MY time? But over the years, as he has given me more of what I wanted - and as I learned to ask for it - it's more about the product of us. What we are able to accomplish together, rather than him just bearing witness anymore.

ETA: good thread topic!!
