Wow! Thank you! I never saw mockery as the subtle put down! It’s always been second nature to imitate my partner’s voice and mannerisms, mostly out of admiration (sincerest form of flattery and all that). But alas, yes, it often comes out of frustration with her behavior. So in that context I feel that it is emotionally dishonest. I think this is one of those insidious behaviors that start out innocently enough but degrades over time into mockery. I guess I’ll have to put that one in my mental in-basket and get my girlfriend to hold me accountable if it happens. Again, thanks for helping me become more self-aware (like I didn’t have enough going on…:~)!
