Usually I stay out of people’s business--but I know Joe is going to have a rough patch in the next few days. When that happens he is going to latch on to labug like you are a life raft.
Joe is going to say his wife is a crazed woman and she is verbally abusive and he was engaging in wishful thinking when he thought they could reunite.
So here is my question:
What the heck labug?
Why are you stirring the pot with Joe? What’s in it for you? You got a beef with him? You don’t want him to reconcile with his wife?
What’s up?
Let me give you my perspective.
Joe and his wife hit a rough patch in their marriage. When this happened Joe and his wife stopped being companions and started being adversaries.
His wife stopped being kind. So Joe stopped being kind. His wife started being combative so Joe started being combative. His wife started being aggressive. So Joe became aggressive. His wife started becoming verbally abusive…
And they kept escalating their bad behavior until they couldn’t stand each other anymore and Joe moved out.
Joe’s life turned into a nightmare that he couldn’t wake up from. He couldn’t do anything right because he didn’t know where the starting point was anymore. He wanted to make sense of his life. Why was this happening to him?
He wanted to blame her.
So he painted his wife in the most unflattering way possible on this chat board—because that is what you do on chat boards. Joe is not going to get on a chat board—while his life is spilling downhill and tell us how awesome his wife is and “Gosh, golly, me and the little woman are going to get a soda at the malt shop after this little spat blows over.”
I think most of us know Joe was venting about his wife.
Just like most of us know Joe is remembering all the wonderful things that he loves about his wife.
Which brings me back to you, labug.
Why are you making Joe defend the terrible things he said about his wife?
The only people I know who do that are people who stir the pot.
