To some, there are two sexes: male and female. To some, there is only one kind of marriage: between a man and a woman. To some: there are only two temperatures: hot or cold. To some, there are only two states: on or off. To some, there are only two types of relationships: you're with me, or you're against me. To some there are only two paths: the right one and the wrong one. To some, the world is binary: It is either a one or a zero. To some, it is only day or night. To some, there are only two colours: Black or white.

They use words like "selfish" and "thoughtless" not because they mean them, but because deliberately hurting your feelings comforts and satisfies them. They may not necessarily carewhether what they say is true, or whether they would have thought it a day ago, or eight minutes ago.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5794893825407092443.post-70626619587090657182007-05-21T15:07:00.000-04:002007-05-21T15:07:00.000-04:00OH MY GODWhat you said (below) is EXACTLY how ...OH MY GOD<BR/>What you said (below) is EXACTLY how I feel....I don't know how many times I have tried to explain this to my husband.
