I used to avoid conflict with my ex-boyfrined because he had an nasty temper. I got sick of him always calling me names when I tried arguing constructively. After a while I got fed up and started name calling right back but I did the names in alphabetical order (trying to be constructive).

I would really prefer to tell him where to go, how to get there and what he can do with himself along the way.

I have kept quiet for seven years , bu tnow he is gonna face the wrath of me.

I have figured out what you called your "ex-boyfrined" (sic) using letters A, B, C, D, F, J, K (sort of), L, M, N (maybe), O, P, Q, R, S,T, U, W

But, I have yet to find a descriptive term for E, G, H, I,V, X, Y and Z.

In the interest of peace and harmony between the sexes and in order for you to live to a ripe, old age, would you please enlighten us as to what the letters above mean for you?

PS: If he is your ex, then why is he now going to face your "wrath". Haven't you gotten over him in the past seven years? (:^>)

Sorry to hear of such a situation......a good healthy disagreement is good for the relationship at times....it sets the boundaries. Name calling just fuels the fire...it's usually a defensive move by whichever side.

I just can't stand 'the subject changing' when I've made an unarguable point. After it gets to that point....I go cut wood, fishing, or over to a buddies house.

Ain't going to put up with that crap!!

Well put. I'll pass that one along to my wife.
