fine starsky - i'll concede to you and vera pointing out my sensitivity.

i've always been "sensitive" to people pointing out other people's vices as you put it - all my life. I guess the way i see it is that everyone has some sort of "vice" whether it's blatant and easily seen, such as smoking or drinking or quite unseen as their thought processes.

i will put some thought into why i feel this way - it's obviously something i need to work on smile

as for how you put what you advise people to do - you are right star sky - when you put it that way.

i guess if i think about it, i reacted to the single sentence, which gave a quite different message than what you just wrote:


I ALWAYS counsel someone to make their support agreement based ONLY on the family's basic needs. Each spouse -- wayward/walkaway and left-behind -- should properly be responsible for their own WANTS.


this ^^ sounds a lot different than what you first wrote.

thanks
