I can't remember any writer starting such a topic, but some may have weighed in on the boards (I can't think of any specific examples at the moment).Margaret Moorehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11556769462995493735noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15451736.post-63588931027514987512007-07-18T18:45:00.000-04:002007-07-18T18:45:00.000-04:00I never understood this either.

I know most big problems in my own life (some ongoing) have been caused by fear of discussing something that, once discussed, would solve the problem.<BR/><BR/>I wonder if it's overuse if tge "big misunderstanding" that gets people so worked up...

Often times that Big Misunderstanding conflict when it's done well is the most gut wrenching. because of all the reasons you said - vulnerability and insecurity. I love the big misunderstanding but like so many devices in romance it got watered down by overuse and poor use.
