I am not saying the woman does anything especially wrong, other than sometimes acting over the top, if I talk about something good. I think she even thinks she is being all supportive and what ever else one is supposed to be in such a situation. But telling her good news just sucks all the happiness out of it for me even when she does not over act. After telling her, I feel empty and like an idiot for having spoken about it. I don't think there is anything really I picture happening differently from an action point of view. I might like to say it aloud and not feel awful after speaking. Granted, when telling her about something bad, her having a response is not useful that I can see. It is more useful for me to tell her and have her not respond or react to it.
