Could it be that whenever we resent anyone, we are really resenting ourselves, our own failure to address that which produced the resentment: our own inaction?
Hmm. That just may well be, and your point on resentment about not speaking out rings as true also.
I will say, though, that our WAS also did the same, and didn't speak out as well.
If they had spoken out, would we have been in the place then to handle it correctly?
Yes, but my point would still stand: resentment has by definition, an element of time attached to it. So if/when our wives vent their resentments of us, they, similarly, would be resenting themselves for having tolerated that which they've grown to resent,
Or am I just beginning to thrash about in semantics, now?
