[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The co-worker is based in another country and is taking some time off before returning during which I'll get to feel my way around. I viewed her as a mentor and she really helped me improve my professional skills and raise my visibility. So some of this hurts on a personal level. I wanted to avoid hitting this head-on in an e-mail and tried to ring her this morning. [b]I finally got her to respond to me when I sent her a heart-felt e-mail [/b]about how I wanted to let her know before she left what I great mentor she has been. She promised to try to set up a call next week or the following week so maybe I can get some answers.

On DH, I told him last night I wanted to see a marriage counselor to try to get our issues on the table. He got pretty defensive about it and made me regret bringing it up altogether. [b]In hindsight I probably should find a way to ask for this so that it doesn't make him defensive[/b] that it's all about what and why he is doing. What it really is about is how I'm feeling. I just don't think we can have a meaningful conversation about this. I think we need a referee or someone who can keep us on point and help us navigate through this. He just got really uptight about this as if marriage counseling = divorce. [/quote]

OP, I am not blaming you for these situations, but go back and read your posts. Do you see a pattern in the way you are behaving? To me, it appears that you are overanalyzing situations as they [i]appear [/i]to you, without getting the facts first. This can be a major communication problem, both at the office and at home.[/quote]
