I understood your post MWG. I know that isn't what you were saying. Although I know that he does lie and cheat. That my dear is absolutely no secret. Well, he thinks it is...:(.
But as I said, I really don't think he told people this stuff to get a reaction out of me. It had nothing to do with me. He said that stuff because it really is what he is thinking. It is what is going on in his head. Decisions he is trying to make for HIM.
When he says this kind of crazy stuff TO me. Then yes, that is why...because he is trying to pull my chain. I asked him once why he does this, he said, I don't know, just blowing. I told him he does it just to see if he can get a rise out of me and he said, "ya, your probably right". And we laughed about it.
The 401K thing, I'm glad you think I wasn't overstepping. I wanted to offer the suggestion, but not be "telling" him what to do. I think he took it that way. I hope.
And your right about the hurt. I catch myself saying or doing something out of my anger or hurt of this sitch. I try and not let that happen, but sometimes it just does. It's hard not to let our emotions show to the outside world.
