Thank you and it’s not problem! Funny thing is that HE cuts me off more than I would him. My biggest trigger is people cutting me off after they asked me to answer/ I have the floor. I mean it really gets me more upset than whatever the original issue is—but that’s from my trauma growing up. So we do have a system. It’s like chess. I’ll start saying my piece and when I’m done I say “OK, I’m done” and I let him have the floor. When he’s done, he’ll either motion for me or say “Aight, your go.” Every now and then, because I’m an Aries, I take a moment of stretch silence as a sign to talk and he’ll just put his finger up and I catch myself. Now we’ve had maybe 2 full blown shouting matches in our 2 years however we didn’t shout over each or even cut each other off. The politest arguments ever. When we’re both frustrated one of us will leave the condo for a bit (walk the dog, sit on the balcony, go to the bar connected to our building) and usually come back in 20 minutes and talk it out again. Well both are more calm and I notice he collects his points and presents them better than before, so the breaks help. It took me a long time to convince him that I legitimately wanted to be with him for the long haul because he was so guarded, and getting him in the beginning to really tell his feelings was like pulling teeth so I don’t want to shut him down mid-sentence and think I’m not listening! He said he hates talking, but I’m a certified yapper. Now all we do is talk non-stop!
