He says 'always' but I believe he's only referring to our communication during a conflict but I don't know for sure. It only comes up during conflict. What happens is he'll be talking and he will say something which indicates some type of misunderstanding based on perception, whether his or mine, and my inclination is to jump in and point that out. Yes technically I'm interrupting his flow but I'm just trying to throw my thoughts out there while he's talking. My intention isn't to stop him from speaking and take over the dialogue completely. I'm just trying to add my thoughts. I shut up after that and don't continue talking while he's still talking. To me, that's normal CONVERSATION, it should go back and forth. When he talks its like he wants to make a speech and sees me as audience of one, expecting me to keep my mouth closed until he's completely done. This is very difficult for various reasons.
I wouldn't put any of this out there if I wasn't going to be fair and honest about the situation. What's really frustrating is that when I'm speaking he doesn't offer me the same courtesy which he expects from me. And when he interrupts me he does continue talking over me in manner to end whatever I'm saying. Nonetheless, he continues to complain that I never let him talk and don't listen. When I try to point out the discrepancy with this or any of the myriad of other double standards, he accuses me of always flipping everything around and not taking my accountability... Which ironically I feel like he's doing. Am I being unreasonable?
