I had no idea that girls and boys respond differently to stress like that! I am dying to learn more. So much is starting to make sense!

This seems bang-on. Oftentimes, when I try to initiate a serious conversation with my husband he seems to immediately get edgy. He always expects bad news and assumes that I am getting ready to criticize him. Maybe it’s just biology at work, and I need to find a new approach to dealing with problems with him. Thanks for another intriguing post, Lori!

I’ve been very unsuccessful in “talking” to my husband about …any changes in “us”. He always get worked up and angry and defensive and sometimes he just starts yelling before I even get started o.o; What I then end up doing is I move my focal point to the beginning of the conversation instead of easing him in because he doesn’t give me enough time to ease him in. So in the end he only hears the criticism, but not the reasoning.

…I’m looking forward to ideas on how to fix this.
