WAW having an A but she denies it #2

[Maybell]

Shodan, I hope you took my words in the spirit of helpfulness they were intended.

With regard to the affair, I repeat that I defer to the vets.

Keep an eye out for other areas in which you tend to be controlling. For example, my H used to hang out with me in the kitchen while I made dinner. Rather than talk to me much about HIS day, he would ask constant, constant questions about mine, never share anything of himself, and in between, tell me when to stir, adjust the temperature, add seasoning, whether I was tasting the dish enough to know if it needed seasoning, etc. He thought he was being "helpful" and "participating" -- it drove me completely nuts.

Those tiny things were actually more insulting to me than larger issues. If he could have let me get through dinner in my own way and just enjoyed my company I would have responded to him much more positively.

But again, I'm only talking about that specific issue, on all else I defer to Starsky & Mr. Bond.
