Are you hard to deal with when you get defensive?

I have found that when my boyfriend and I get into disagreements I get extremely defensive and I am not sure why. It always seems as though the things that he says to me is a personal attack on my character. I admit at times I can exaggerate just a little but I'm not sure why I get so defensive.

This is something I've had to work on a lot. I try not to get defensive, but it does happen sometimes. Usually if something is making me defensive, I try to stop for a moment and ask myself why it makes me feel like I need to defend myself -- usually it's because the person is right.

Yeah I think you may be right, because when I think about it the day after I actually question was I really right or was I wrong. But I wouldn't tell him that LOL
