As someone whos found herself slipping into old (undesirable) programmed responses, stumbling across this helped me Yet humans are not inherently rational creatures; rather, we are essentially emotional actors. Theres a neurological reason for this — the part of the brain that reasons carefully and forms new behaviors is slow. The rest of the brain, which executes established patterns, is quick and efficient. So our minds prefer established patterns versus creating ideal responses, even in situations where thought before action would yield a far better outcome. Hence its sadly easy for either partner to behave badly when they could have known better! Its wise to forgive your partner for such slips, and just as wise to acknowledge and apologize after making them yourself.
