Ah, Bea, eventually, that is what I often did. Just laughed.
Oh and made clothes for his cell phone and invite it to Thanksgiving dinner and decorated his chair. LOL!
He still tells me he misses that about me. Poor fool still doesnt realize the connection. LOL!
One time, he did something hurtful like that Linda, cant remember what exactly and I turned around to face him. He looked at me, realized what he did and wasnt sure what my reaction was going to be.
I shook my head and laughed hard, while leaving the room. And there he stood, I would guess, feeling foolish.
Yes, anger is better than feeling hurt. When you get to thinking how crazy he is and you dont want to catch it, then you are on your way, my friend.
