IMP.. agreed. As another friend of mine says its a trap. I start off talking small talk, how's the day stuff. Then she will ask how I am and I say well just thinking about..whatever it is I am thinking about that day. All a very nice pleasant conversation. Next thing, well you really are this, that, the other thing in these nice polite tones, so I think we are still in the toss some ideas around mode, so I respond. Then WHAM I am being yelled at for not agreeing. I fell sucker punched. I think I need to see it coming better...like not say anything about my feelings. Stick to boring small talk. Most women I know like to talk about feelings...usually we like to listen to others feelings..much more fun than politics. But this friend like my H and is trying hard to excuse him in her mind....part of the problem. She is convinced it is all my fault as he is way to nice to have cheated on me for no reason.
