When put that way.
I do. To be honest, almost everything I say seems to feel like he takes an opportunity to slam me. How do I respond to that? It is so hard for me to let it go. I guess because often it is unfair. In the sense that it seems he has a preconceived notion of what I mean or am thinking that simply isn't accurate. Yet, the more I protest and try to clarify the worse the situation becomes and eventually I blow up back.

How do I go about setting limits without a horrifying confrontation? I posted before but honestly, he has been angry, REALLY angry with me for at least a week. Every single interaction I feel like he attacks. He also ends them with "why would I want to be with you?" I think he is confused and part of his anger. I dunno. It doesn't really matter what I think at this point though.
I need to really identify the things I am doing that is prompting this reaction. I didn't really realize at the time until you pointed it out that I shouldn't have done that.
Your input greatly helps! I appreciate that!

Do you think the attacking is his attempt to control? And that is why he keeps coming back to that and it gets more and more heated each time?
