Something that I read this weekend really resonated with me. It was the idea that men think women bring things up out of nowhere.
They described the female mind as a computer with numerous windows open and numerous windows minimized. The male mind generally has one window open and the others CLOSED. But since the female mind cannot close windows, the minimized windows will at times pop up to the front of the screen when some seemingly random button is pushed.
It was a good visualization to the feeling that I get when she brings up some random situation from days, weeks, or years ago. She is not doing this purposefully, but they way her minds works causes it to happen.
I can understand a little better with the visualization of our reconciliation being another window that keeps popping up in front of the 2 dozen other windows she has open. I can see how it would feel overwhelming and stressful when the other screens are never minimized.
Opened my eyes for sure.
