Quoting PhoenixNTraining:
I know you don't want to waste time trying to get into her head. But I wanted to tell you that you are being reasonable in my eyes. Just in case you needed to 'hear' it.


Its not about being right or wrong, reasonable or not, its about her being able to take a small comment, given in a polite and calm fashion and not freaking out and making a huge deal of it! I have grown very tired of that aspect of our current relationship and it DOES NOT make me WANT to spend any time with her.

I have expressed my desire to take our daughter to the Santa Clause parade, I did NOT invite her, I will not, but she has expressed the desire to be there. That`s fine. I am looking forward to it, but NOT if she is going to act like she has been acting! Then I will need, AGAIN, to be the one to remove himself from the situation and I do not wish to do so!

I know, I know, I may very well have a great time. But, and this is very hard for me to admit , now I am having a hard time simply being around her. I shall need to be very positive and up beat and "act as if" on that particular evening!
