Then I mentioned that men have it tough, because depression is really not spoken of. Then he said men get a raw deal, because if we look at testicular cancer, the rate of incidence is just as high as breast cancer but there is no big thing about it.
I got that too!! Exact same words - central scripting again. And I have had breast cancer twice (two different types of tumour, not a recurrence), but had to have a mastectomy and reconstruction the second time. So the remark was not particularly sensitive This all happened while the divorce was going on. And what they have is always worse than what we have. It is competitiveness gone crazy.
Incidentally I am the poster child for thu is procedure
These people are acting like total jerks, and I do not believe it is healthy for us to be around them when they behave like this.
My xh also makes these stupid jokes, which no-one thinks funny, and are actually passive aggressive, and designed to hurt.
He wasn't like this: he was a nice guy, and to this day I do not know whether he is really Dr Jekyll or Mr Hyde. However if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck I know where I would put my money.
Trying to feel compassion but not always succeeding here!
