I once dated someone who couldn't consider hypotheticals or how they could be used as a reasoning tool. Disagreements were the most frustrating thing ever because I couldn't play devils advocate or steelman. She thought I was agreeing with her intermittently to make her mad. She had no concept of walking in someone else's shoes or arguing a position you don't actually hold. It blew my mind.

So you were playing games with her instead of developing a solution together?

Yeah. I don't blame her for getting mad.

No, I was trying to explain things. It was difficult to get to solutions because I couldn't get her to see different points of view.

Experience gained, I suppose.
