OK Tom, enough of your petty internal problems, lets get back to something really important, ME!
My question to all you DBers is: How do I treat CB when we have these rare "appropriate" social occassions. If she has indeed treated me in an understandable and appropriate manner here then it would make sense for me to treat her as usual, the old "happy to see you, how's it going" mode, which is pretty much what I did at the xmas concert (granted, she had to open the conversation). If she hasn't treated me in an appropriate manner then I may want to be pleasant but distant, for example at the Xmas concert I could have said "Nice to see you, enjoy the concert" and walked away. As I said, I try to be understanding of others and their situations but don't want to allow myself to be treated poorly because of it either. Again, where's the line? I've given my W so much rope I don't even know where the end of that rope is anymore, I don't want to do that with others too. Make sense? Sometimes too understanding says "walk on me, I'm OK with it" I'm done with that sh!t.
