My wife of 30 years has this to some degree( not that I don't...just to a much lesser degree), she is extremely rational/logical and I am mostly feeling based. It is very frustrating at times. She doesnt seem to questioning her way of being. I do not expect her to change. Lots of incorrect assumptions as you say.
