Spartan, I have a question. Have you ever intentionally tried to push someone's buttons?

I ask because I don't think I have and I've never felt that my H did. But I posted on my thread that sometimes I would keep at something trying to say it in a different way, with different words or even raising my voice.

[b] As I said earlier, our pattern had been I would bring up some problem, he would shut down, I would continue to "nag" and he would further shut down...Why did I continue when I could see he was shutting down?

With this event on Sat, I wanted to continue until he gave me something and I've just discovered what that is, validation.[b]

Could that be considered pushing someone's buttons?

I hear that thing about pushing buttons on here a quite often and wonder how many people actually do intentionally push another's buttons or is that just our interpretation?

Let me give up the need to know why things happen as they do.
I will never know and constant wondering is constant suffering.
