No 2x4 from me. Your x has been demostrating less than poor behaviour. She is a royal bitch and nothing else. She needs no reason to get angry at you and no matter what you will do she will be angry. She is an angry person. There is no logic behind her actions and dont sweat over it. Some times we need to just speak out what is on our mind even if that wont improve things. I am glad you actually said what's on your mind. Now, drop it. Dont think about it. It was nothing. Really. You gave her the satisfaction of responding, you did what you felt like doing. Lesson learnt. xxxx K
