I just googled the differences between men and women communicating styles.
Here is the most relevant part of it.
Men are direct. Women drop hints.
What my wife is doing is taking what I say and adding a bunch of stuff that I did not say because she thinks I am hinting like she does.
No amount of explaining that I say exactly what I mean and there is no more to it so stop adding all that bull$hit is penetrating her fortress of suspicion. :scratchhead:
For example, I say ...
"I am going to make dinner" translates to, "I am disappointed she did not make dinner"
"I think it is lovely that you are going to such an admirable extent organizing the kids dance" translates to "she is spending too much time working on the dance"
"Would it be helpful if I knocked out the laundry today?" translates to "she is a horrible wife"
"You look amazing today" translates to "I think she is a piece of meat"
"I did not realize you are working tomorrow" translates to "I need her to do something for me"
WTF? :lol:
I noticed recently that we are going round and round with me saying EXACTLY what I mean and her taking that to some other meaning adding all kinds of nonsense to it. GRRRRRRRR!
We are also working on dumping mind reading and covert contracts in favor of asking for and saying what we want or expect.
Guess who is having issues with that?
Uh huh.
