Cleaning and keeping things picked up!
Having a lot of pride, i never give in.i am also very stubborn. Those are things i grew up w and he hates!
We did not communicate as a family and avoided conflict at all costs. We didn't share emotions or feelings are we're brought up as independents not as a close family.
Running away when things get tough to handle. I have really had to work on it and feel like I am doing much better. If it wasn't for him I'd still be running. Things worth having are things worth fighting for. He has shown me that and I am grateful to him! I love you so much babe!!!
This was really encouraging to read. My boyfriend tends to runaway and try to escape problems, or avoid dealing with them. He's been working on it, though, this past year...which has been nice.

I can only guess its the enstrangement of me and my family. I hardly ever talk to any of them.
being quick to respond with a sharp tone
Ida's really cant think of anything. Steve thinks I'm perfect!!! But if there is something please let me know!!
That's an easy one. I was forced into being able to emotionally disconnect from any given situation and take on a cold, mechanical, and logical stand point. For me it was a means of self preservation. For her, I'm emotionless and must not feel anything near as deeply or as painfully in most cases as she does. We just work differently. I am emotional, a lot more then what's visible.
Eat to fast
That doesn't bother me really just the noisy eating! :-)

Yelling. When I'm upset I can't talk or communicate with out yelling
i dont think it has to do with how i was brought up, necessarily, but i am too defiant at times..too stubborn in my own views maybe.
Talking
I'm not real sure, because she never really communicates that to me. But I'm sure it is getting up early and getting stuff done in the morning.
