It's back and forth here too, thank goodness. I don't do well with long silences either, especially if I'm anxious or getting spacey. T is good at finding *some* way to say something and keep the communication going...
The only downside is that sometimes I don't get all my thoughts out. Maybe I ramble a bit, or maybe T just knows exactly what he wants to say and can't wait.

But overall, it's a good mix, and I'm grateful that I don't get stuck feeling all alone in silence!
