Yes! I am often guilty of not being a better listener. Your three points are dead on and I see them in others, and not often enough in me. Cheryl and I came up with a similar expression while working on plays together (her as director; me as actor or scenery...) "What hat am I wearing?"
This is something I struggle with from time to time. Because I'm aware of it, it doesn't seem to rear its ugly head as much. Thank you for the reminder. Peace
My favorite advice about talking and listening to one's spouse is to say....."you might be right." Saves lots of arguments.
