Today I happened to be caught in the awkward situation of listening in on my friend and her boyfriend's conversation in the car, just as I did couple of years back on the bus home with another friend and her respective boyfriend. The surprising thing was that I note a parallel in the content of couples' conversations. There would always be an instance when the male would be doing all the talking, with incredulous effort. Almost making a mountain out of a molehill, he would describe in extreme detail the most uninteresting, boring event/ subject (today's incident brings to focus the specifications of a particular fashionable digital camera) as the girlfriend listens, in her undivided attention.
As with the previous few encounters, I have yet to understand the relevance of such an occurence and how it contributes to the effectiveness of mutual communication in a relationship.
