Thinking on your feet and responding immediately is not helpful to your relationship. I know many people are proud of having that ability to always have a quick comeback. I used to be one of them. But I now know that being impulsive is not smart. Our brain has many different centers that have different functions. The Amygdala is our emotional response center. That’s where our quick response to fear, anger, love, and sexual desire comes from. But it can’t make decisions. Our Prefrontal Cortex receives those emotions and helps us process them to make a decision.
