Quote: Now this is going to sound tough on you, and maybe it is, but do you think the tendency to argue, or the tendency to not be open to new information, new thinking, was perhaps one of the areas in which the marriage suffered as a consequence?
This is an unfair statement for you to make. You do not know enough about me to say that I have a tendency to argue or not be open to new information. The fact is that I read what you had to say, processed it and decided that I did not agree with all of it. That does not make me close-minded. The fact that I stated my opinion on what you posted does not make me argumentative.
As far as my marriage is concerned, my husband and I have often discussed differing ideas and information. Sometimes I saw things his way, sometimes he saw things my way and other times we just respected each other for our differing veiw points. There was no argueing and no hurt feelings.
