Mr. Right has difficulty speaking to his partner—or about her—without a ring of condescension in his voice. And in a conflict his arrogance gets even worse.
I feel like he thinks I do this to him??? I love academics and my special interests, but I try my best (and, I am of course, human) to not interject into a conversation when I don’t have enough knowledge of the subject. I do have knowledge in some subjects I love; I have a hard time keeping myself quiet if I can tell someone speaking doesn’t fully know the information.
When I speak up it is not to belittle the other person. I try to say my words in the most gentle, least ridiculing way possible. I know that I can have false beliefs, just like anyone else. If someone has more knowledge on a subject than I do, I value their explanation as a new piece to the puzzle.
I might not fully integrate the new info with my thoughts during that convo, but I tend to dream about it or it keeps popping up in my mind. I don’t want to spread misinformation, so I look into the subject.
