JDollie, My H is great at pushing my buttons. What I mean is that he talks things to death. He will not let anything go. He doesn't take no or not now for an answer. He will say anything or do anything to escalate and get my attention - things that are too hard to ignore. When I don't answer my phone - he will accuse me of shutting him out - he will cancel a date/ refuse to cooperate/ threaten to D me without finding out why I didn't answer the phone - like I am still asleep/ sick/ dealing with a plumbing problem. When he wants to talk it about something he is hard to redirect. When he wants to resolve something I am considered to be the one who is too busy -too tired- don't like talking on holidays/weekends/at work....i.e implying that I don't care. If he tells me it is ok not to want to do something and I don't - then he doesn't talk to me for a week and tells me that I'm not doing my job as his wife or that there is something wrong with me. Get the picture?
