Quote: Life and relationships would be so much more black and white if they were. But alas... I know that they are not the only choices available and I attempt to temperate my words, deeds and reactions accordingly.
Be that as it may... I will admit that sometimes... in some moments... they are the only ones that seem available to me.
I guess that makes me what?? Human??
Murderers and rapists are also human. I don't think they should be cut much slack, however, by excusing their behavior by declaring their humanity.
Please note, I am not comparing you to rapists and murderers. I am only comparing the logic.
I am a proponent of adults owning their own behavior. I am also a proponent of adults critiquing their own behavior and working toward adjusting it towards something more healthy.
What Cobra is doing is not healthy for him or his kids. It is even more unhealthy for him to think that he is perfectly justified in acting so. Because that means the behavior will not be addressed or adjusted.
Your response seemed to support him in his desire to give his wife tit-for-tat in an ever escalating destructive way as if that was the only alternative to laying down and taking it. Thus my response that those aren't the only two options.
