W filed, I think we can make it work - what to do?

[labug]

FY, I think there are times in this process that call for truth, and probably most of those revolve around children, the innocent collateral damage in all this.

I didn't advocate convincing Spartan's W of anything.

If I respond authentically and without rancor, to something my H has said that is counter to a deeply held conviction of mine (of which I have very few) and he gets angry, pissed off, upset---Oh, well.

His feelings are his to deal with and if I'm upset by his response, I guess I would have to look at my expectations. Was I trying to convince him of something or was I simply stating a strong belief?

I am one who would rather be happy than right but I think this goes beyond that.

I wouldn't bring it up at a time when the kids are happily playing because to me that seems manipulative.

Responding to a comment from her seems appropriate. If this didn't involve such and important issue, I would say ignore it.

Others will disagree.
