DEAR MISS MANNERS: My husband and I have a difference in conversational styles. When someone is talking, I was raised to comment on their remarks before adding new details from my own experiences. For example, an acquaintance was reminiscing about her trip to Alaska, remarking on how long it stays light there in the summer. My husband's response was to tell her that when we went to Edinburgh, he found it stays light just as late there. To me, this sounds like one-upmanship, but my husband doesn't see it that way.
