"School teachers . . . sheesh." don't know what you mean by that remark.

that's exactly what happened in the past--not so much crying, but more anger from her whenever i discuss the ssm resulting in "if you don't like it, there's the door!" bringing me to a halt and reversing my emotions to doing everything to diffuse the situation by agreeing with her that there is nothing wrong, and that it's my fault for thinking and feeling this way--just so she can stop being angry at me. then things would settle down and the subject was dropped until the angst built and then i unleashed it only to get the same attitude, giving her the same response.

the display of public affection is like a slap in the face knowing that it's all a facade.
