WAS vs. LBS

[mamabird]

Just to back track a bit - regarding the email. What I picked up was that you each are expressing your own agendas. Of course, I'm fresh from MC and the counselor drilled into us the idea of listening to the other person without trying to interject your own arguments into the conversation.

Each of you just wants to be heard and get their own point across. No one (at least in this conversation) is acknowledging the other person - at all. Is that a dynamic you normally have? You both have reasonable statements but you completely miss each other in this exchange. This is what happens in my sitch all the time, and now that it's been pointed out, I'm going to try to focus on just listening.
