Thank you, thank you, thank you Shananigans.
I think you hit the nail right on the head with why men and women are so different. I think a lot of it has to do with the way each perceives the world around them.
In the past I find that when I spent time with the guys, there was definitely fog speak with each other. However, I think that the style of fog speak is different between men and women. I also find that when I communicate with my SO, I drop the fog speak without thinking; maybe because it's how I express myself to her honestly and I believe that I should always be honest with her.
She on the other hand has told me that she doesn't trust other women and that will put her on high alert. I noticed that when she is on high alert, she will always look for hidden meaning in what is being said. When we argue, she is on high alert for what ever reason, she looks for the hidden meaning in my words when I am not using fog speak with her at all.
Over the years I have learned how to deal with this issue to the point where I think my fog speak skills have gotten better. I will admit that I have a long way to go, but I am improving.
Again, thank you Shananigans. You have helped me to find a new direction to improve myself as a person and a CDer.
Love and Hugs,
Jamie
