Discussion on MrsCAC4 thread - Making assumptions

[Burgbud]

Except, instead of stopping, why not:
You can?! Oh...I am SO relieved!

And *then* stop. Exactly.

I'm mostly just saying that if your spouse admits this is a problem for you, that's significant. As opposed to Mrs.HD's first hypothetical answer which says that it's not really a problem, just a result of bad societal programming.

And of course my controlling, manipulative side wants the LD Corri to come back later and complain about him leaving his socks on the floor in the bathroom so he can say, "Well... I can see how it's a problem for you."

Or in the case of Mrs.HD's first response, I could gin up a Tracy-logic laden explanation about how sockless bathroom floors are really an outmoded societal convention. No wonder my marriage was such a struggle...

But seriously...if your spouse acknowledges a problem for you and you just leave it at that... seems useful.
