How do you feel about people who say a thing and do the other (usually the exact opposite)?

Hi ya..

Grrr this behaviour pisses me off!

My husband does this kind of thing!

For example. .He has this weird thing where when I say No to something I really don't want happening, he behaves as if I said Yes! ?!

It's weird! ?!

So he will listen to me say how I feel about a situation, and will respond by saying 'Ok. ' This makes me think he's understood I'm not happy. So I then think he will behave accordingly to me saying No. Eg the situation won't happen unless we are both happy. Not just him.

But instead he behaves the opposite! It's like I said Yes!

It's so irritating and confusing! It took me years to work out what he was doing and why he was being weird - from my perspective.

Hope my post makes sense.

I don't like it when someone says one thing and does the opposite. But I guess that's because I say one thing and actually follow through with that same thing x
