Quote: jethro, he does this even when my statements are about MY feelings...my feelings are typically related (by him) to either...somone I talked to, something I read, or it must be that time of month. It is very insulting and I've told him so..he doesn't hear it though...it's that rather self rightous part of him.
I would still argue that he interprets YOUR feelings are a result of him NOT doing something RIGHT. Thus, he needs to underplay how you are feeling so he can feel better about himself. It's not right, it's not validating, and yes, it's crappy. It's all about ego, LL. Much of our views, impressions, fears, and assumptions are driven by ego. He's no different.
