However, If I don't make a remark about what she said, she assumes that I'm stewing over it.
If I do make a remark on what she said, she accuses me of black-and-white thinking. Of twisting her words.
If I don't make an immediate remark on what she said, she assumes I'm trying to find a way to twist her words, and even worse, saving up my feelings for a blowout.
Parroting the words may – in some cases – be an effective way of making someone think they’ve been heard, but in my case, it’s her assumptions about what’s going on in my head after I’ve heard the words.
Make sense?
BTW, welcome to my first poster to my new thread. Sorry, no door prizes.
