Hi dfb! I guess I should clarify...I did/do walk away with out saying anything when he starts his sniping. I'm not about to stand there and quietly "take it"....Yesterday, I gave him "the look" and just walked off and didnt say anything to him until he responded in a more appropriate manner, which took about 30 minutes. There was a time when I would have been in his face big time and chewing his hiney for speaking to me like that. I now realize that just antagonizes him and seems to give him some weird sense of justification that he's entitled to then be in a snit for long periods of time. Just looking at him without a word goes a LOT further in producing positive results. I'm thinking that it turns it back on him and makes him think about what he's doing. He himself told me as much about the "drop the rope" policy way back last spring... I've not found your thread, merry christmas to you and your new H if I don't catch up with you again here soon!
