Megan, so sorry for what you, DH and family are going through. Peace and strength to you all.
The problem, I think, is that most people (men and women) who do that sort of thing do it out of insecurity, not malevolence, so it'd never occur to them that "no mind games" applies to them.
This. Especially in regards to the high schoolish mind games Strega referred to (and the behaviors are legion). For some reason, I think of sexual players (which is the player I'm assuming ita referred to earlier) as being generally more self-aware.
yeah, crappy weather means packed malls. ugh.
You know when the absolute WORST time to go to IKEA is? When the dorms open for the semester. Man, that was painful. And I didn't even buy anything. Just got swept far enough into the bowels that I had to fight my way to the exit.

Ha. A couple of years ago, I accidentally went to Bed Bath and Beyond that weekend. DISASTER.
I'm done with IKEA. Going to Crate & Barrel this weekend or next.
Look at Mr. Upscale!
I was just having a conversation about how it's time to stop buying crap and start investing in decent things, but good furniture will likely continue to be beyond my reach for a few years yet.
Plus, it's easy to take it as, "You must be totally honest about your feelings, or lack of feelings, from the first second, and if you do anything that annoys me, I will accuse you of playing mind games." Which might be off-putting.
That's exactly what I get from that. It just pings me very wrong.
Woman finds snake in bag of broccoli florets
Mum Tina Cosby was preparing tea for her family when she discovered the foot-long snake among the greens she had bought from a Tesco store in Essex.
She said: "I was hysterical. I'm not a lover of spiders so a snake in the kitchen...
"I was also a bit nervous because I thought it might be poisonous".
The European smooth snake had survived a trip in an aeroplane hold and a night in the Cosby's fridge and he was pretty chilly when he was taken to see vet Nigel Spraule.
Tesco has apologised and given the Cosbys a £50 voucher.
IKEA? Who wants to go on Sunday?
