karlthatkillspeople
as a woman who does this, sometimes you ask and I just don't know what to say. I usually don't need to talk I just need a hug
respond2us
I've been with my wife for 13 years. I can tell when something's wrong, even if she says nothing. She's just not ready to talk yet.

>>and if you're that dense then you can go poo yourself.

bobsheadthreateningly
While newly married, my husband had the unfortunate tendency to make me feel REALLY guilty whenever I made him feel bad about himself 1)
Thank God, he doesn't behave this way anymore! (Mom was right, guys hit maturity at 30, lol..) 3)
So if I was upset at him but didn't wanna deal with his guilt tripping me, I'd just tell him nothing was wrong 2)

thanks mate :)
You're welcome!
MomAtHome
Well maybe if you didn't want to argue with me when I did tell you what was wrong I would tell you what's wrong!! ..Sorry, venting.
Lol. I vented in another comment as well. Five minutes after saying what was wrong he goes.."hey is something bothering you?"
When i said nothing it was pure sarcasm.
so.much.this. especially when you've previously told them what was wrong and they magically just seem to forget, like, really?! Are you
First off - love your UN. Second, I have mental health issues, so it seems like everyone waits until I am complacent to do the things 1/2
that piss me off, then wonder why I go batshit cray cray on everyone.
As someone who also has a chemically imbalanced brain, I feel ya :(

incapable of understanding context? Are you THAT stupid? Are you just playing dumb to evade getting in trouble or dealing with an issue?
This is why people have stupid, circular arguments, because either both people or one person intentionally makes it difficult!

This. I also say it when I don't have the strength to take a discussion I know is pointless. Better to just let it blow over.
helloimrobin
Then say so
Yeah, because you won't "bother" us, when we say "please not now" ... if it were so easy, we'd do that.
That's because SOMETIMES "no" means "try harder" .. suit yourselves.
mixtapepanda
No means no always.
Just because some people do this - not everybody is like that. When I say "no", I mean it. Otherwise, I express myself in different ways.

See, sometimes that's for the best, and sometimes a lot of small things become a giant festering mess. Communication is a learning process >
> between two people though. And learning to listen without immediately going "Yeah, BUT YOU--!" is probably the hardest skill
Then you really do need to LISTEN, without interrupting/ defensiveness/ blame-shifting, to make somebody feel they can tell you things

indukie
Sorry, it really doesn't. I threw a tantrum in a DQ once then sat down on the floor and cried. I was about 32 weeks.
But it IS worth it!
No no no I refuse to admit this could be me (no offense to you). Honestly, were you level headed and mellow before pregnancy? I must know.
I've always been very calm and mellow. I was crazy during pregnancy and it took a few weeks to really calm back down after.
Just to check, I'm only at 11 weeks and have not yet had a melt down of anykind. When does it kick (or am I spared and maybe a robot)?
I haven't had a meltdown yet (9 weeks & 4 days). I hear it could happen around 18-20 weeks and then also towards the end.
I sobbed when I saw my local White Castle had been torn down.
I think my husband would do that. He still talks about the last taco bell in Boston leaving years ago.
Ohh my god I'm really freaked out right now. I don't want to ruin relationships! :(
Don't worry! Things do kinda settle up near the end. Hubby describes me as "Moody, but not near as bad as PMS moody."

Using this, you still establish yourself as a caring partner (which is hopefully what that desire is going for) without the guessing games.
Yeah, but fuck that. This answer puts that responsibility back with her. She can talk, and then you'll listen and know what's up, or she >
> can keep it to herself, and then that will be her choice. As long as she knows you really will listen, I think that's a good thing.
I'm a woman, and I too was raised with 'Can't tell him about feels until he's proven he REALLY wants to know' - It's a good thing to unlearn
Thought process was 'Nagging is REALLY BAD, and if he has to drag it out of me, I definitely didn't nag even if he doesn't like what I say'
Explanation: you're establishing several things. 1) I take your word at face value. You say nothing's wrong, I believe you >
2) I will listen if you want to talk, 3) we can now both trust that if there's something I need to know you will bring it up >>
4) Here's a hug, because we care about each other and connecting/comfort/reassurance is never a bad thing
RubberChickenGoD
I am a combination of 1 and 3. My exwife played that card enough. I had on the first time or two of nothing stated I will listen and 1/?
2/ gotten I am fine. I just started to leave nothing as nothing and she would get pissed on either me asking to much or not asking enough.
