My GALing and His Bailing Part 5

[KenF]

"It really pushes my buttons and I react very very poorly"

and this is why you have to change your reaction.

if he's trying to get a rise out of you, you're making it too easy for him.

but laughing at it, seriously having a good laugh, finding the irony of his statements, completely rewires your buttons.

its only an adjustment of perspective.

again, it goes back to allowing someone else to control your emotions.

right now, everyone else is in control, and you're miserable. you're wiped out, exhausted, disheveled, irate, beat down.

but its because you gave them control. its your choice.
