[quote=Anonymous]My MIL revels in any and all opportunities to play devil’s advocate, but she doesn’t make it apparent that it’s what she’s doing (in other words, you constantly think she is in complete, yelling disagreement with you). I know this is the case because I had a serious talk with my husband early in our relationship about the fact that we disagreed about everything, and he explained that he was taught to challenge everything growing up. Now that I know this is how he approaches things instinctively, I’ve gotten better about talking to him to reach compromise, and he’s done a lot of work on himself to unlearn the behavior in the first place. It was a real issue at first though.. this type of behavior makes for horrible social interactions and difficult to romantic ones, too. Maybe something similar is at play for you, too, OP. [/quote]
