It's actually a pet peeve of mine to have someone quote me like he did....because I'm more-often-than-not...misquoted or the quote is taken out of context to suit the persons' intent....like my H did. He chose to focus on one portion of the comment, not the comment as a whole....and therefore missed the entire meaning behind it. That really frustrated me! It didn't really surprise me because he does tend to do this, but it frustrated me nonetheless....I think that's one of the reasons I didn't hesitate to put his comment back into context.
My wife says I do this to her too, but I find she does it as well. We remember what which triggers something in us. That is the filter we all have. What frustrates me is that W thinks I do this intentionally to carve out a position against her. What she really needs to do is understand WHY I hear her words as I do. It is not my fault that I do so, no more than it is her fault that she hears things as she does. It just frustrates me when I am blamed for hearing things as I do.
