[quote=Anonymous]Honestly it sounds like you get defensive easily and are taking his questions personally even though you know he doesn't mean them like that. He probably speaks quickly too right? Is he a lawyer? I'm a lawyer and get this feedback sometimes - you may be able to tell him light heartedly that you feel cross examined - my husband sometimes does that to me. If he's a lawyer it is literally his job to communicate like this and sometimes he doesn't know how to turn it off. He could probably do a better job but so can you in managing your anxiety. Don't hesitate to say something like "hmmm let me think about that one" and take a deep breath - don't let him rush you - you could even go so far as to say something like "I'd actually like to think on that one overnight, can we finish this up tomorrow?"
