Mr. B - I feel H's behavior extends beyond a mere difference of opinion. For example, if I casually remark about what a beautiful day it is, H will counter with some criticism - ranging from "well it is a little humid" to "there are a lot of clouds in the sky" to whatever. Frequently, he has to counter what I say.
It is quite annoying. And it all started during his affair. He was never like this before.
In my quest to understand - is it me or is it him? Is it the way I am saying things to him (because I don't have this concern with anyone else)? I found a name for what he does; it's called Oppositional Conversation Style (so named by Gretchen Rubin).
I don't understand it. I would like to because I would like to find a way to counter it or stop it. I would like to know what I can do to change it. Perhaps there is nothing I can do to change it, I just need to change my reaction or my perception of it?
