Default Re: talk to vs talk with

Yeah, 'talk to ..' sounds more like I have something to relay to the other party.

When I say 'talk with ...' sounds more like I'm discussing something and both parties are equal in the conversation or both are important.

I can think of many instances where either would be fine, but I'd rather be 'talked with ' than 'talked to'
