Your right.

It was very immature to go "Thats nice dear".


The problem is that despite how often both of us try and change the interaction that occurs between us we fail and it invariably ends in throwing mud.

I tried being polite and sincere but even my sincerety was thrown back as "quibbling". I tried just joking it off but got caught up in it again... So I turned to immaturity in the hope perhaps that would work.

To be honest I just have absolutely no idea what I can do to change this. I asked you for suggestions and you gave some but that obviously hasn't worked.

We know that in essence we don't like each other, and that what we say annoys the other person. I think you are ignorant and you think I am... I think you say stupid things and miss the point and you think I do.

Surely the fact that 2 people BOTH think the other is doing precicely what the other is doing is enough to say that we just really don't communicate on the same level.

I know that what you say has merrit in it and in all honestly I do value the merrit it has, I get the impression however that you don't give ANYTHING I say any merrit at all and when I do come up with something that I personally feel is valid and succinct you think I have missed the point... And to be honest I do exactly the same thing to you.


There seems to be only 2 options :

1. We simply don't reply to each others posts, I go my way and you go yours

OR

2. We actually try and look at this like 2 mature and intelligent adults, ego put to one side and see if we can find a solution that negates this problem.


I'm happy to try either one.... the choice is yours.

[DISCLAIMER]
Everything I said above was said in honesty... if any of it rubs you up the wrong way or comes off as being egotistical or derogatory to yourself then you have my appologies in advance and my word that none of it was meant to. I get the feeling that for some reason the words we use, the way we use them just trigger off sensations of unlikable things in each other.
