I think you're right. The clause should actually be something like "disclose to my students the gender of my spouse." How does that sound?

This is a really good point, but I feel like an English teacher would have written "whom I married."

I see both the beauty and impressiveness in the skill development to talk and interrupt well in conversations. The effort put into adapting oneself is commendable, and the joy of contributing to conversations is evident. However, that's where the narrative seems to conclude.

Initially, a friend points out a truth: the narrator "'shouldn’t talk more. Everyone else should talk less.' Possibly true." But this change doesn't occur. The narrator helps their partner feel less lonely, yet the partner doesn't learn to know them in their quiet moments. The narrator masters the art of lively conversation, but doesn't impart their wisdom. It's not an ideal resolution.

I really like when people pause mid-sentence, searching for the next word. Efforts to minimize this trait are like Beethoven shortening his fifth symphony by removing rests - an essential part of its charm.
