Relationship Being Psychoanalyzed By My Vet

[Sweetpea76]

Well then they need to spend more time treating our "hysteria" in the manner that doctors used to see fit. ;)

Flip reply.... Um... Have you seen the 10,001 armchair psychology "diagnosing" that happens round here? One paragraph about a stranger, written by a stranger, and all of a sudden diagnoses start flying like snowballs. Narcissist! Psychopath! Run for the hills!!! ;)

*lol*

I've seen this so much on internet boards.

I always wonder how much of this is just a "man thing"... it seems like a lot of men think women are insane by nature. You know, because we have emotions. :O_o:

It's actually not like we have them and they don't. It's more like we admit having them and they don't.

Seen man act in emotional, irrational ways but they always claim they are being rational.

Hugs to you @Sweetpea76 - my vet does something very similar. He constantly tells me I'm a weirdo. Everything I do that isn't exactly and precisely what he would do when he would do it in the way he does it is weird. He'll roll his eyes, tell the dogs "Mummy is a freak", do that hand gesture circling around your ear to indicate someone is crazy etc etc.

I don't mind mine doing that as long as he does it in a loving tone.
Me and him know that both of us are completly nuts - but at least we do know.

My guy doesn't like to be called mentally ill or crazy but if you tell him that he is totally nuts and a basket case he does not mind and sometimes he asks me if a fear he has is real or if he is nuts. I tell him he is only being nuts and he is fine with that - sometimes it's the other way around. I ask him if one of my fears is being nuts. Though I don't have PTSD I have a lot of irreasonable fears because I am a chicken.

I have certainly not experienced combat trauma so there's a possibility this is related to his ptsd and I just don't understand it, but it sounds a whole lot more to me like a "man thing" as you say. "Diagnosing" you with low self esteem and daddy issues invalidates everything that you might have to say. You're fussing about that because you are crazy. You're upset with me because you have issues. Your concerns are irrational and therefore invalid. Some guys do this. I imagine some girls do, too. It may be that when he's in a particularly rough spot he feels more need to deflect blame and responsibility in the relationship from himself. Who knows, maybe he feels like he is disrupting things between you when he is having a difficult time and feels guilty. Guilt frequently leads to blame.

I do remember reading that @Sweetpea76, which I believe was an orgasm?

It cures what ails ya @anthony !

BTW - he lasted less than 4 days before calling me a weirdo again. At this point I'm actually feeling pretty over the whole f*cking thing. Clearly, my feelings mean absolutely nothing to him. Not really sure why I persist in a relationship where I am treated like an incompetent household slave and occasionally patted on the head by way of - his words - cheap management tricks.
