It's not about a lack of 'feelings' it's more like a defensive against becoming overwhelmed. Does that mean men are more prone to stress? <br />Hmm, interesting food for the thought.McKenzie McCannhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11707799179783394809noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7217391718085448472.post-57490151103495364932011-03-24T19:51:02.013-05:002011-03-24T19:51:02.013-05:00You know, I can definitely see this pattern in the...You know, I can definitely see this pattern in the relationships I have been privy to. <br /><br />One exception to this is a couple in which the husband will often pursue a sensitive topic, even demanding that they discuss the topic right then.<br /><br />When he doesn't like his wife's response, he gets critical, contemptuous and defensive -- all the while accusing her of doing the same. <br /><br />His wife tries to reason with him and tries to seek an equitable resolution to whatever problem is being discussed, but it's as if he wants to fight, insists on having the fight, to the point of misinterpreting her efforts to express herself and understand him, and then refusing to believe she didn't mean what he assumes she meant. <br /><br />When she realizes he's beyond reason, she often leaves the room or steps outside, which makes him even angrier. But within about 30 minutes to an hour, he calms down to the point that he can discuss the topic rationally.<br /><br />She'd really like to know how she can skip the four horsemen and go straight to the rational discussion phase.
