Greeneyedlass asked {{That's interesting...I wonder if your demeanor sends her a mixed message.}}
Greeneyedlass, It hit a cord with me when HP said her H had this silly grin on his face when they talked. In my case I sort of smile because I am uncomfortable that the other person or W will react negatively to what I have to say. I do not want to come across as a mean guy or a know it all. I want to keep the conversation friendly.
It's like when my A male friend walks out of his house in the AM partially dressed and his zipper is down. I smile and say his zipper is down as not to embarrass him or myself. I imagine it is slightly stressfull for him and it is for me.
{{No, I'm not trying to control how you think...but if you can try to see my point of view,}} Greeneyedlass I think I do something like you suggested most of the time. I even ask W to try to see MPV and she usually replys that I am controlling, why have another opinion.
Example, W mostly watches 2 news networks and forms her opinions about Israel and Palestine based on what she sees on those networks. I watch the same networks and other programs that present the news that origionate from the middle eastern countries, Canada, England, Germany and other countries sometimes.
W'comments about the Israel / Palestine clashes, are to say all the Palestine people are to blame for the problems. I say, yes some Palestine people want all of the Israel people out of their per WWI land but some want to co-exist. W's comments usually indicate that there might be a few good willed Palestine people, but by and large most are killers. Sorry for the political bent of this portion of this post, but this is how W sees many things. It's kind of "I see what I saw and my mind is made up." I do get through to her sometimes but it requires a lot of work.
