[quote=Anonymous]I don't understand why people are so quick to justify treating someone badly with the cover of "stress".

Stress is a killer - it is horrible. All of that I get - but it doesn't excuse you and give you the right to be mean and nasty to those around you for long engaged periods. A bad day and a one-off? Yes I get that. But we're talking about over a year? It may be depression and they may need a therapist - but again, why would I have to be on the receiving end day in and day out because you are "stressed" and don't know how to communicate effectively or deal with your stress/depression?

It seems unfair to me that people go around and dump on others and say "well I'm stressed out" as if that's just automatically forgivable.

Sorry to derail the thread - but really. I'm sick of giving people passes for being shitty just because they can't seem to manage life. Illness/loss of job and things of that nature I get - but just on and on? I would not be able to deal with that toxic energy everyday nor would I feel like it's my duty as a spouse to keep on taking it.[/quote]
