"Have you noticed that it occurs after you've commented in a condescending/disrespectful way?"

You mean like ... "How so? It sounds like the two of you are equal based on what you just described." And you responded with a snarky comment? Don't see how that's condescending. That's just one example of many from you.

"Have you noticed that it occurs when I emulate the "straight shooting" behavior of a vet that has saved his marriage?"

Yes. And while imitation is the highest form of flattery, it's not doing you any good.

"You are not my wife, I have no marriage to you to save. "

True, all of this is for your M. Right now you're not connecting the dots.

"Are you suggesting that I have to treat every single person in my life like I would my W?"

No. I, as well as the other posters to you have asked you that. But for some reason you want to pinpoint on just my asking. And BTW, you still haven't answered us which would lead us to believe that the answer is 'yes'.

"Have you noticed that when other people comment, we don't go on these little tangents about someone hurting their feelings?"

Not really. People only respond negatively when a nerve is struck. If you actually read through your posts and responses through the eyes of someone who is just reading from the outside, you do seem pretty defensive. Take it for what it's worth.
