In reading the article “Can We Talk”, self-disclosure in a relationship means a lot to both men and women when communicating and interacting with each other. I’ve been married twice- not to the same person twice and being self-disclosed to them was a nightmare. Things that I would share with them would get told to their friends, my family or strangers in general. I cannot say I had a good experience being self-disclosed. The article talks about the gender role between men and women role during intimacy and how affectionate they can become.
One of the most common reasons is that your communication style is different than the other person’s communication style. Tannen expresses” Unfortunately women and men often have different ideas about what’s appropriate and different ways of speaking “(para 2).

He tells me that he’s not my whole life, and that he’s not the most important thing, but yeah he is he really truly is. When ever I talk to him everything that is bothering me seams to fade away like it was never a problem. And when I’m with him, he’s all I see. He’s the reason I smile, he’s the reason I hurt, he’s the reason I cry, and he’s the reason I never give up.
Olivier Lubemba Jon drinnon English 201 A March 4th, 2013 Report 1 In relationships men and women most often have different ways to communicate; they are more comfortable when they talk to someone with the same sex. I will always try to be brief in conversations when I talk to my girlfriend than when I talk with my male friends.

After that she will go call her sister and tell her that I’m ignoring her and not even paying attention to her then they’ll start to talk to talk about everything that she was telling, although that is true because she always comes up with shoes, mall, online shopping or her best friend bought this new dress while I’m not interested on all that.

Let’s Understand Each Other Better The article "Sex, lies, and Conversation," written by the professor of linguistics Deborah Tannen, explains us about the many dissimilarities amongst men and women that occur in the way they communicate with each other. It explains to the reader why there is a lack of communication and understanding between a man and a woman who aim to pursue different objectives through conversations. The article is a very effective passage that provides logical reasoning to support its claim of developing cross cultural understanding in order to avoid the clash of genders that is caused by failed conversations. Most of the women complain that men are not good conversational partners at home. According to the females, men do not listen or talk to them and do not contribute in day to day discussions.
