Guilty by association? (sort of)

No, I wouldnt think you were like him. I would think "what a jerk" and feel bad for you.

I wouldn't think of the person any less, but like others said I would be like I would feel bad for the person. I know nice people married to the most snobby people. I guess the saying that Opposites attract is sometimes true.

I always feel so sorry for the families of these people and wonder why in the world they put up with them! Life is TO short to have to live in misery!

My attitude has always been that my life suites me. I live like I do because I like my life and I am happy with it. Then along comes some jerk that wants to point out to me all the things that are wrong with my life???? Hay Dude, I was happy before you came along and the only thing wrong in my life is your sour mouth... BYE-BYE Dude!

Dawn, I'm so sorry you feel that way. Hopefully one day he'll wake up and realize he's miserable.

When I'm out and I see someone with a miserable person, I often feel sorry for them.

I ADORE my husband, but sometimes in public... that man can be embarassing! I KNOW people are shaking their heads thinking "why does she put up with that?" and I know it all boils down to insecurity, for whatever reason. Once, we were in the store, looking for nice shirts for our son. He asked me a dozen times what size he was. I said repeatedly "medium". He continued to ask... and the ladies shopping around us were rolling their eyes and stiffling laughs because they heard me answer him every time.... and they were thinking "yup, my husband does the same thing". Apparently HE did not. So he asked again, so I frustratedly said "MEDIUM!" The ladies that were politely stiffling laughs at that point bust out laughing (it WAS funny). He was MORTIFIED that now all these ladies thought he was a fool..... and stormed out of the store. OMG... if he EVER did stuff like that on a full time basis, I'd kill him! In fact, I think I was a moment away from killing him that day. I KNOW all those ladies were thinking what a poor woman I was to have to tolerate a man who would blow up so easily. Believe me, *I* was wondering myself. I've learned over the years that he IS insecure (for whatever reason

) out in public, and I've learned to just ignore his outbursts instead of reacting. I feel like running around telling everyone "he's not like this at home... HONEST!" but I can't.
