Me and my husband cannot explain this

[ClarkDurham]

I am new and unsure if this should be in this forum or in the relationships or none of the above... but, moving on:
Ok, so me and my Husband have this inexplicable connection that neither of us can seem to put into words.
. It’s like we can look at each other, or even just “tune-in” to each other and can feel what one another is feeling. This...” feeling” or “connection” isn’t as strong as someone (without the connection) would think. It is hard to explain. It isn’t very strong, it isn’t like mind-reading or a voice in my head and it really isn’t all that clear. It’s like if I didn’t care about him or think about him as much as I do, I would never be able to tell, it would just go right over my head. We both know it’s there, we have both tried to explain it to others, but there are just no words for it. We have never really said it to one another either, but I know when I look at him that he is feeling and thinking the same. I can look at him and know that he is trying to feel my emotions.
One of us will notice the other is sad/upset/angry, but not know why, we can ask "Are you okay?" and it may just be a thing at work or something, but sometimes I will say "Yeah, I'm fine just tired" and I can FEEL that he knows I'm lying.
The weirder part of it is when we can feel what the other person wants or is craving. I won't even be paying much attention to him, just doing my own thing watching TV. Then all of a sudden I will get this urge to get up and go make a snack, like a specific snack ie: sandwich. Then hardly a minute later, he gets up and makes himself a sandwich! Silly example, but same goes for multiple things. I'll suddenly start thinking about a joint and say "Man you know what I want" and he'll just go, "I dunno, but I'm ready to smoke." Same goes for sex, leaving a social event, anything and everything, even a song that's been stuck in my head ALL day; I'll get home from work and he'll start signing a different part of the song saying it's been stuck in his head.

We've never really talked about this more than just acknowledging it. We will both try to explain it to people and it just can't be put in words, we're both left frustrated trying to explain it and the person just looking at us like we're crazy. It's just this unspoken, unexplainable connection, and I just don't even know what to think of it.
Like, does this happen to other people? Is it entirely coincidental? Is he just really good at reading me? Like none of that makes sense to me. Someone help me out!

It's wonderful. Maybe best not to try to analyse it too hard lest it breaks the spell. Sometimes these mysteries are meant to stay mysteries.
If you know/feel deeply that you're in love, that may be enough.

This is the only reason I find the term "twin flame" worth while. It's a term for something that doesn't have one.

Lol...

You are in tune to each other you both sound empathetic to each other... Which is lovely.

My hubby and I were like this at first and we acknowledged it - at one point we were both had empathetic tendencies to feel the energy of other people and we had a certain degree of telepathy between us especially when we had to separate for months at a time due to work or life.

At some point I shut my tendencies down a little bit though because I decided that I wanted to learn how to communicate effectively and not make assumptions of others which is a little bit of a shame though because now I have to re - educate myself on how to reconnect with those skills and use them in conjunction with good communication skills.

Any way - enjoy your connection... It is nice to read about a healthy connection in these parts.

For what it's worth... I prefer the label 'husband' to anything else... Even with all the tf parraells of our journey together as a couple.

Sometimes best friend works as well.

TF.. Is also an acronym for Tuna fish ... OK... I am quite silly

Our brain is a massive coil. You could unwind it several times around the earth. We even have brains in our bowel in total about the same volume as a cat's brain.

Sometimes when people project something, we say we feel it in our tummy. I believe the primary function of our brain is sensing ( danger ). A form of intelligence which cannot be measured but one that is critical to our survival and a consequence of evolution.

I use the term coil intentionally because no radio can exist without it and I believe this is exactly what our brain is. We see no antenna because like a cell phone, it's inside winded into a coil.

It sounds like a very strong connection.
