My financial controller talks for hours and hours on the phone. She talks to her mother and one of her aunts about anything and everything. I, on the other hand, rarely have a conversation that lasts more than a few minutes and usually involves some kind of business information for my retiree clubs, how to fix something or computer problems.
About once per year I do visit with a friend in Nevada and may visit for awhile. This upsets my financial controller. She points out that I talk to my friend more than I talk to her. What she fails to understand is that my friend doesn’t know about the things that have happened in our lives, but she does. And, she doesn’t want to talk about IRAs and 401ks, or energy conservation or cars. Most men face the same situation with wives. It all started in the days of cavemen.
Women were gathers and talked while they gathered to scare off the animals. Men were hunters and didn’t talk so as to not scare off the animals.
Besides, I told her everything I know years ago.
