And so, it would seem that trait for not telling people what you are really feeling or thinking about a situation, especially if it is "negative" feeds a whole lifetime of pent up resentments just waiting to be the rationale for why they should leave us and find someone who doesn't have our long history of disappointing them and hurting their feelings and never making up for it. It doesn't occur to them that we aren't mind readers, we can only address the hurts that are clearly hurts and that they did us both a great disservice by quietly stewing about these things for years and never really expressing the true depth of their pain.
