My husband genuinely believes he’s in trouble any time I’m focused on something. Like , we could be watching a movie , I’m not talking because I’m wrapped up in the story, and he will tentatively ask if everything is okay. And I have to be like “ sometimes I just don’t have anything to say “‘😂🤷‍♀️

Exactly! I wouldn’t call it going nonverbal since it’s not like I CAN’T talk, but it’s kinda bizarre finally giving into the urge to not say anything only for everyone around to start prompting you to speak

Yep! I can be staring out the window while we drive and be totally silent. And if he were to ask me what’s up , All I’d have to say is “ tree. Tree . Tree . Roadkill . Sad . Tree . Tire . Ohhhh , abandoned barn. Tree” Or , if I’m really deep in thought and making a bunch of facial expressions, and he asks what’s up , he’d get the last 5 minutes of dialogue and tragedy I’d been workshopping in my head for a fanfiction I started 12 years ago but never finished. 🤷‍♀️🤔

I say “ nothing” as an act of mercy 😂
