I hate small talk, vehemently opposed to it... been married over 15 years...

When it is someone you truly love and cherish... even the most mundane things come with a sense of beauty and wonder, because it's them. Their thoughts, their opinions, their take on whatever applies the meaning. My wife and I can talk about the rain and the trees and the bugs and the birds for hours, for no other reason than it gives us a chance to be together.

Looking at it the way the post does... you're missing the forest because of all the trees.

I love the talks with my life partner about the inner depth of the universe and the emptiness beyond. I hate when he doesn't listen to me about something that I know is a good insight. I also hate when he outright shows coldness. I do that sometimes. I understand we are so good for each other for we are good archetypes that fit together. He doesn't do small talk sometimes, and he lies about the stupidest things to cut small talk to nothing. But I love him. He's special, and I'm just happy someone understands my crazy so well.
