It's interesting that you mention this, because I was writing about this yesterday in another forum. There is truth to this.. I've noticed with myself whether I'm at fault or not.... I automatically assume that I'm in the wrong and at fault regardless. It's learned behavior, and getting to the point where you have no confidence and just assume what the other person says is accurate. For me... this is one of those areas I feel that I can unlearn, because I do believe that I can be more mindful of when it's happening. Hopefully, this makes sense.

Also, you discuss mending fences... If we could talk about this with no stigma attached... I'm not saying people wouldn't leave us... But I do believe more people would stick around since this would be out in the open and no stigma, and it may not automatically be assumed were at fault...I never thought about that..
