Cobra This is a control-based deflection, it is almost second nature to her, because her world revolves around her needs. Karen I feel horribly guilty about all the $$ the accident has cost and the fact that we also have baby stuff to buy etc...so going away is hard for me (I have a good bit of martyr in me and am pretty fiscally conservative) but I hope we have a good time, he gets some rest and we connect well.
Two different types of people, wow.
Cobra, good post.
Lil, I will have to agree with you some on the "WE" is not being direct. As I read the "we" statement, I thought about what you said a long time ago. When trying to work out problems with a SO, and you press them for something, do it with your and their best interests in mind.
I also see you being correct because BB talks about "we" need to do X, Y, or Z, which sually works out to me doing most of the work, and her expressing her wants.
Like so many other words, "we" can have more than one intention or meaning.
