Broke,

It think you did excellent! It didn't get you the response you wanted (this time) but you validated like a DB champ.

Sometimes no matter what we say, it will always be wrong. This is what happens when the person we are talking to is not happy in their own life and they are projecting their junk onto us.

You could apologized and kissed his a$$ to the moon and back, and I still think he would be pissed off.

You didnt take the bait, great job.
