The BIG D and its Path of Destruction

[LITB]

I was posting from my phone, so let me paint the picture a little better now that I am on my PC.

When she called, we were getting ready to walk out the door. I wanted to give her the courtesy of letting her know that I wasn't avoiding her or not allowing her to talk to the kids. I offered to let her talk to them while we drove to their reading class. She declined, saying that they would be too distracted.

When she started in on her attack, it caught me off guard. Some of it because of the anger, but mostly because I couldn’t believe what she was saying.

I felt like I wasn't going to be able to get a word in at that moment and more importantly, my S was next to me. I wasn't about to get into an exchange with her while he was next to me.

FWIW, I think both methods can be effective dependent on the sitch.
