I'm exactly like you Shirley H, I exchange a few words but that's about it. My husband on the other hand is exactly like Helen T's husband, will chat to everyone and their dog!! He usually does this at the hotel bar, while I'm getting changed for a night out!!
When I'm on holiday, I thoroughly enjoy just spending time as a couple. It's sometimes hard to do that at home, when you have work commitments e.t.c.
