accusations are often thinly veiled confessions...
have you ever been in that situation? starting out evenly matched in a discussion and then suddenly you are on the defensive, cornered and confused because a weighty accusation has been leveled at you seemingly out of nowhere.
are you cheating? why would you say that? liar!
do you want to break up with me? i didn’t even intimate it! jesus- you’re breaking up with me!
don’t you love me anymore? of course i love you; why would you even ask that? you don’t love me anymore!
i bet you know the feeling… you are having a normal conversation and things begin to feel not normal and then the next thing you know you are arguing and defending something totally preposterous. instead of lightly rehashing the party you just came home from, you are twilight deep into an all-nighter-woody-allen-style relationship analysis.
what the what? how did this happen?
ask a simple question and get an accusation? well, congratulations. you have probably just gotten an answer to a question you weren’t even sure you were asking.
when someone accuses us of something that is just not in the usual realm of possibilities, you can bet you just heard a confession...
