In my opinion, the "c" word is THE WORST possible thing that I could ever utter to the fairer sex Uncle.
Once that word is said in anger, that's pretty much it.
One of us is packing our bags.
It's just soo negative..
You know enough about me and that situation. All I can tell you is that the very last time he and I argued I said something extremely mean to him - something I wish I hadn't. I would never repeat it to anyone. In all reality, I am ashamed that I treated another human being so poorly - no matter how hurt or angry I was.
Low blow: That he married way the hell out of his league so he better shape up or get the f out.
But of course I would never say that to him. He's a wonderful gent and would never give me any reason to disrespect him in such a manner. I would also never disrespect you. You might b*tchslap me.
I choose not to stoop to someones level when I am upset. If I can't bring someone up, I walk away.I t makes me crazy when anyone attempts to blame their behavior or decisions on me, or indicate that I wanted something when I didn't. Think of a controlling/manipulative person, and you get the idea. If someone plays that game, they are quickly out of my life. My spouse sometimes tries to justify errant choices, that irritates me.
