H: Whenever I do something wrong, you apply some catastrophic consequence to our M. CV: Catastrophic, like what? H: Like sleeping in the other bedroom. CV: (Reflective)..... Okay, I understand your point and how you feel about my response. (Walk off...)
Really?
And this is somehow ultimately going to improve my M? I totally agree it will change it. I totally get how it makes for a short convo. But If I shared my feelings about something, and H gave me a token response and walked off, I wouldn't bother to share with him again. If he did that to me, I would simply shut off completely. Why bother?
I can't imagine the dynamic of this coming out in a more positive way.
