[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This thread is giving me anxiety. These spouses seem so incompetent.  This isn't normal.[/quote]

OP here.  This is how I feel!  It is an out body experience to see that there are obvious reactions, and obvious things NOT to do - but DH will, without fail, do exactly what not to do! It is completely contrary to how I was raised, where common sense is valued and stressed, and those without it are seen as (insert negative word here). So yes, it is extremely frustrating and baffling to me.  There haz got to be a productive way to address this, though I am fairly sure that common sense can not be taught. Like others say, it seems to be anxiety, which makes perfect sense if you look at DH's family. One of DH's parents was very bright and accomplished, and the other was ...........not well exercised in common sense......I am certain the smart one often lost their cool with the not so smart one. (Not saying that all people who lack common sense have anxiety OR are not smart, that is just how it was in DH's family, but it took years to put the puzzle pieces together, because DH's family does not talk about this freely).
