Do you want to be happy or do you want to be right?

I'm telling you if I'm not right I'm not happy. Simple!

Ian, I asked you guys not to talk with each other. Now knock it off.




Once again--how's that working for you, Phil? Oh, that's right, you said you don't care what is not working. So that means you don't want your marriage back. Okay, I understand. So feel free to continue doing what you're doing and keep expecting different results. That's usually quite an effective strategy.

So again--you're very right about your marriage, your wife. According to your logic, that must make you happy. I think we can all agree just how happy your posts sound.

Really, Phil, you just don't get it. You don't just need to be right--you need the other person to acknowledge you're right. And they're wrong. That automatically makes the other person feel resentful and like you have the upper hand. I have a feeling that you may believe it makes the other person grateful for your guidance, moral superiority and great wisdom. I can assure you that's not the case. There are a great many people in divorce court who can say they were right. A lot of right, divorced people. They don't seem very happy, though.
