You just rang a HUGE bell, thyme! My husband, separated and now deceased, a real 'talker,' not chat but known for holding and sharing strong views (also repug, but finally smart enough that couldn't vote for shrub,) developed a cancer on/near his throat, treatment for which finally caused his death. He was frustrated for years because the surgery caused him to NOT be able to be understood by most. (I, however, could usually understand him.) He abused me emotionally for years, later hit me, then I left him (and our home.)
'Thanks,' and GOOD LUCK!
