In the beginning of marriage counseling for me, I was generally the one bringing up all the issues, while H would just be like, "I wish she did the dishes more." So I'm sure I sounded like the dramatic one, but MC wasn't labeling anything. Eventually, he started pushing harder (partly at my request), and H started being more open about some issues he was having, too. |
I looked up histrionic:
overly theatrical or melodramatic in character or style.
"a histrionic outburst"
synonyms: melodramatic, theatrical, dramatic, exaggerated, stagy, actorly, showy, affected, artificial, overacted, overdone;
He criticized my expressive demeanor? Certainly, what I told him was not exaggerated, and my h confirmed it. Hmmm. So, I got accused of being somewhat unlikable by him? He didn't like my way of speaking?
Maybe I'll tell him next time that bothered me.
