[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, how cold. A bunch of women here who can't deal with other people's emotions and would also walk away.
Are you also like that with your own families and children? [/quote]

Yeah, no. Remaining calm and not losing your cool isn't cold, it's adult.

You can insult all you like, but you may notice I won't insult you or call you names. I understand this is frustrating to you, and you might prefer me to get revved up because of "your emotions." Mabr it is validating or something.

Terribly sorry about that. [/quote]

ITA.  Some people like a captive audience, ro have a point to prove.  OP, it might work when you corner your husband about not doing the dishes, but it won't work in the real world.

Agree with the other poster that children know to deescalate - or "just walk away" this way.  It is the adult thing to do.

Sounds to me like OP wanted to be right so much, she is willing to risk a friendship, and the friend really doesn't care what you have to say, OP.  She's done.  Accept it and move on.  You sound like you have OCD, control issues, or worse.  I can't imagine what is so important to ruminate over.  It can't possibly be healthy for you, since you probably handle other insignificant matters this way, also. Why don't you share with us - because you know we would think the matter is trivial?
