She told me that her feelings were hurt on Saturday night, and that I was mean to her. She doesn't factor in how her actions affect others. I refrained from apologizing, because I didn't say anything mean to her, though I was irritated with her criticism.
Great work CL...
This is YOU in control. I have the same problem of either “wimping out” or apologizing when I know I did nothing wrong or lashing out when I take my W “criticism” personally. Yes we do need to man up when we do things wrong but only then. Only when we do /did something wrong. This is not a baby. This is a major improvement in CL….
Also I like the way you handled
“She complains that I go ballroom dancing weekly, and practice with a crowd that is probably 2/3 casual social dancers.” You invited HER to practice with you. What you did here was really clever. You turned her complaint around and put it back in her court. Now if you spend weekly practice without her it’s her own fault…..
Keep it up buddy I am learning from you...
And if I claim to be a wise man, well It surely means that I don't know
