When is a rule not a rule?

Redredwine's picture

When is a rule that *your spouse* put in place not a rule?
A. When your spouse doesn't notice it being broken?
B. When your spouse doesn't want to be the bad guy?
C. When your spouse is too tired/distracted to do anything about it?
D. When your spouse is embarrassed that he/she didn't catch it?
E. When it's already happening, so it's easier to just let it go that time?
F. When you catch it but you're being picky?
G. Any and all combinations of the above.

Shoot me.

Do you ever get the impression that DH and BM like the drama?

Sometimes I wonder if they do things the way they do--over communicate, under communicate, word things in a provocative (not sexy, provoking) way, read into things--just to keep poking each other? And yet they both seem to want the other to back down. What are they waiting for? An apology? Did someone not "win" in the divorce? What issue is not closed yet that they cannot let go?

I'm back

Have a new user name...which is much more appropriate.
(Let the record show I was not a red wine drinker before.)

However, I still feel like I'm "in the blender"...if you know what I mean. Wink

Been stalking STalk since I deleted my other account. Been keeping up with the things going on and all I can say is: wow. My situation isn't nearly as, um, interesting as what some of you have going on. I don't know how some of you keep doing it.
