I can buy that Bond. (But it irks the crap out of them to hang up... grin)

and there is the chance that engaging with them will backfire,

esp if we lose our cool with them,

which is understandable in these circumstances.

But as I just told Alamo, I think it's important to speak up for yourself so if you don't hang up, you cannot just listen to spew. That is not what is meant buy "validating" the spouse.

Respect has to go both ways of course.

But while weak women can attract good men, e.g., rescuers,

I can't think of a healthy woman who is attracted to a weak man.


I wrote this to Alamo, and it applies here as well.

"Be strong; it's attractive. Be consistent; it's reliable. Be yourself; it's authentic."
