[quote=Anonymous]My husband is like this. Lots of defensiveness, and it used to be really bad. Now I point out the defensiveness immediately, and he will stop himself and sit there quietly for a few minutes. Then he'll usually acknowledge the defensiveness, and we can continue the conversation. I've also learned to inject humor into the conversation. For example, in the example a PP listed above about the garage door, I will say something like, with a smile, "good lord, I'm going to need 3 sweaters it's so cold in here!", then walk over and kiss him and say, "do you mind closing the garage door when you come it- it's bone chilling in here!" I'm from the south, he's from Michigan, so he honestly doesn't feel the cold. Humor definitely helps. [/quote]
