What causes it? How do you prevent it, or how do you repair it?
I'm so perplexed by it that I have spent a considerable amount of phone time with my wonderful, logical, rational female friend discussing it. She had experienced some of the same thing recently, and we couldn't reach any definitive conclusions. We brought up a certain book (that's the only reference we could think of) and she wound up getting a copy for both of us. I'm reading through it and picking up a few good things, but I find the Venusian/Martian analogy a little hokey (and entirely unsustainable throughout an entire book).
I am really at a loss about this sort of thing, and I am eager for some answers, so I would appreciate all sincere responses.
Oh--I also want to preface this request by mentioning that I want to avoid discussion of assigning blame or guilt, as I am not into that at all. I am talking about communication between mature adults who, deep down, have each other's best interests at heart...so I would like to keep the conversation mature, as well.
