Apologies to MrBond.


You ARE touchy right now....

Why ???

Because you are REACTING out of emotion, instead of seeing things rationally...

It is normal for now.

Mr Bond is direct, blunt, and to the point, and 99% of the time, he is spot on with what he says.

It is a communication style, and learning how different people communicate is part of the DBing process...

I do wonder though, if a person that you hardly know at all can fire you up that much emotionally....

How easy it would be for your wayward spouse to ruse that from you as well.....

Maybe think about how you give AND receive information from others.

One of the red flags that go up with a poster, is when their feathers get ruffled with another poster. Typically, when a poster gets like that, something has been said that angers them....

That anger from something that someone says to you, and that little burn, or sting that goes up the back of your neck ??

Those are the things that you do not like about yourself, and have been guilty of in the past....

What was it exactly...that angered you ???

I know that you said it was the WAY that he stated his point...

Is that on him, as the writer of the message ??

Or you as the interpreter of the message ???

Has that been an issue in the marriage ??
