So you’ve had a difference of opinions…

He sees it one way..I see it another..my ‘solution’ to it was a viable option of which he knew so therefore shut me down and said ‘leave it, let’s just have some alone time’
Id like to know how you’d take what he sent. I have friends who have read it in different ways.

It feels like a very dismissive response, but it's hard to interpret it without knowing the context.

The difference of opinions doesn't really seem like the issue here, though. Clearly there are communication issues.

How did it make you feel?

Cmit08 · 09/06/2022 15:35

I did feel and take it as dismissive..not a good thing.

Everybody would take it differently, OP. There's no objective set of rules about how we 'should' feel, or whether a thing is 'right' or 'wrong'.

What you feel is the only thing that matters, and if you felt it was dismissive, then, to you, who make your own rules about what you like/don't like/will or won't accept, it was dismissive.

Hard to say without any context. Maybe he's fed up of hearing about it & doesn't agree with your 'solution ', maybe he's a bad communicator?, maybe you're a bad communicator?. Doesn't really matter how others would feel about it. It matters how you feel about it & how he responds to you telling him.

Completely incomprehensible without context.

Do people really have these kinds of discussions by text?

I'd take it to mean stop messaging for a while and I'd reply to say, "yes we won't resolve anything by text, talk later".
