Nar communication style

[Meh]

Maybe the static communication flow is part of the power/control issue.

It sort of makes sense.

If they have a lack of interest, need for control, don't acknowledge the OTHER....the conversation would be very flat.

Yes - definitely flat! Also - I went back and lookd over the posts. NM definitely "assigns" me emotions. She tells me how I "should" feel in every situation and completely ignores how I do feel. Is that what you were describing?

NM: "You must be so excited to do that."
ME: "No, I don't like doing that."
NM: "Oh, bout you must. It's so fun. It will be so great."
