[quote=Anonymous]If we have a disagreement there's nothing that drives me crazy faster than my DH chasing me around the house arguing his point while I'm trying to think. I need space away from a problem to resolve it in my head. This is true at work too - I rarely have a good idea in a spontaneous brainstorming session, but will come up with something if I have time to think before the meeting. If not I'll come up with something hours after the meeting.

My husband sounded like the OP, and it took going to couples counseling for him to understand that I'm not ignoring him, or freezing him out, I'm thinking. We can talk all day but will get further faster if he gives me a couple hours to think. And I need to do that silently and away from my husband, especially if the discussion is heated. I'll ever understand people that want to keep rehashing their argument to each other, escalating and arguing. People that say walking away to think is emotionally abusive (like my DH before counseling) are only able to accept their way of resolving conflict. Now I let DH have his say, I walk away and process, and then we come back together to resolve the conflict. [/quote]
