Dear Craig:

Like the member who responded most recently to your thread, and before I read his comment, I too noticed the term you used twice on this thread regarding your ex girlfriends, “reptilian brains”.

You wrote: “But when their reptilian brains were triggered, both of them reacted by silence… when their reptilian brains go nuts… they tend to look outside themselves for the source of their pain. Who is closest and ‘appear’ most likely to be the cause? Their partner, so watch out!”

Your anger at the two women is evident.What came first in any one of these relationships: your anger or theirs, I don’t know. Did they withdraw from you because you expressed that anger toward them? Or did your anger follow theirs. I don’t know.
