[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think OP's concern is that, in his opinion anyway, his wife's communication style becomes impolite before the situation really calls for it. The situations he describes -- at least in the way he describes it -- seem fairly marginal; but, I've seen this in a lot of people. Instead of being direct & firm, but polite, you get this passive aggressive b.s. "I don't see what's so hard to understand." Presuming or pretending to presume that they don't understand adds an unnecessary, negative dynamic to the conversation and makes her look like an asshole. Something like, "I am frustrated by your lack of response to my previous inquiries" would be more to the point. [/quote] +1 It's draining and uncomfortable to be around someone who needs to put others down to "win". There's a middle ground between @sshole and doormat. [/quote] Road House rules. "Be nice until it's time not to be nice."[/quote]
