We are them. "No, you first," "No, I insist, you go first." HE gets so annoyed by it sometimes but HE gets annoyed because HE sees it in himself through me. I can't help it. My upbringing has forced me to consider everyone's feelings before mine so when plans change at a glance and he says, "Yes, please come over" and I say, "Are you sure you don't want a night alone?" HE asks me why I'm trying to trick him into saying no after HE has already said yes.
I can see how it might seem to him like I'm playing a game but it isn't a game to me. I am not trying to drive him crazy, create chaos, stir up trouble, etc... It's just that inner Magpie that keeps me thinking of his feelings first, and sometimes saying the opposite of what I truly want so that I appear thoughtful.
