^^^ it's interesting to me that this statement **could** be interpreted as snarky, if one chose to.. or could be interpreted as a neutral (or even compassionate) observation, if one chose to.
One of my H's biggest complaints in our M was that I never gave him (his words, actually) the benefit of the doubt. I often interpreted what he said in a negative way, even when he said he didn't intend it that way...
Let it marinate. Let go of the defensiveness, and the need to be "right". Just because someone didn't interpret what you said the way you intended it doesn't mean THEY are WRONG. (It doesn't mean you are wrong either, btw.)
Does that make sense?
(MrBond... I am so flattered and take your words as a HUGE compliment! A major update to my thread coming later tonight, which I could SURELY use your insight on!!)
