Guest guest Posted January 9, 2011 Report Share Posted January 9, 2011 The defense mechanisms I have developed & solidified since childhood include social reservedness, stoic affect, cynicism, extreeeeme sarcasm, and major avoidance. Now, whenever I am going thru something, my fiance (like any normal, caring person) will try to get me to talk about it. And I just shut him off. I simply don't know how to illustrate for him the crazy world of my crazy family. And then I start justifying cutting him off by recalling the times that he has not understood me completely, even though I know that he's only human, and how the hell could anyone understand the rules of my dysfunctional household when they come from a perfectly normal home environment? I am going to suck as a wife. Damn this life! Hey, that rhymes... I feel sorry for him. He also is super careful about what he says to me b/c he can't predict when something will upset me. I hate being that woman. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
