The injured party is the one who feels the most offence


Zivira:
Herein lies the problem – most women believe that they have communicated their hurt to their husbands, but most husbands only have memories of their wife’s bad attitudes. All those times a wife thought she was simply expressing the cry of an injured heart, her husband only perceived hostility, coldness, or hatred. She felt like she was begging for tenderness and sensitivity, and he backed away because he thought he was being attacked.-Reb Bradley

Jennifer Frances Armstrong: Yeah, well by expressing that she was injured, she was actually damaging his sense of moral righteousness. So, he experienced it as hatred.
