Mind-reading is a classic mistake in conflict.. right up there with name calling, shouting, and lying

When someone goes wayward it just gets worse...

Has she been practicing mind-reading throughout the marriage or is this just since waywardness set in?

If its long term then yes it is immaturity on her part.

Just counter with :


We are out of touch with each other and neither of us should be claiming to know what the other is thinking. It's also insulting to sit here to have a conversation and have you clumsily try to predict what is going to come out of my mouth.

When you want to have a conversation let me know. But I am not going to sit here and be insulted like that.

You are just being negative. If you can't find the maturity to control your negative outbursts and aggression then you need to find a good family therapist to hep you with that.


I dunno something like that...

I think Dr Phil had a thing on mind reading.. let me look for it
