It went down hill by staying in the conversation. I find it hard to let it go when I'm called out on something completely untrue.
Yup, I know that feeling. Since BD I've learned to do a 180 on that. When it comes down to it, it's an ego thing. We want to be RIGHT. There's a saying I learned here- "do you want to be right or do you want to be happily married?" I like to apply it to all my relationships- "do you want to be right or do you want to have great relationships?" So whether it's my kids, coworkers, clients, my W, or whoever; when someone is spewing and I feel my blood pressure rising and that urge to "correct" them starts kicking in I just remember that phrase. It's amazing how that one little tool helps me to calm down and let it go, and yes it's true that when you can let go of that your relationships with everyone run a whole lot smoother!
