Ron,

Thanks for putting a little perspective on this for me. I don’t often fly off the handle, but when she tried to blame me for her father getting upset with her, I just had enough and lost it.

Stupid me, trying to speak reasonably with her. I certainly should know better by now. I’ve been through the whatevers with her before; I’m just letting my guard down figuring that the spaceship may be landing. Wrong!

She thinks that I’m not giving up until I get the results that I want (her perception of me being controlling). I told her that I’m not giving up because I made a commitment to her many years ago, but if she really wants a divorce, I don’t want to be with someone who doesn’t want to be with me.

I’ve just got to start keeping my big mouth shut.
