MAKE ME!!!!!
Tonight I burst into tears when I walked into the door after you and your husband dropped me off at home. In front of your parents, his brother, sister and husband, his cousin and all the friends assembled he insulted you!!!
I could not believe that he used the phrase “make me” after you righteously told him to control his outburst of expression. I sat frozen, but [name withheld] who was to my right on the same sofa looked at your husband with total shock. After your correct chastising comeback to him your father patted his hand on your knee. What a gentle way of expressing to you that “this was not the time – not in front of everyone.”
You had every right to say whatever you had to say because he was wrong and had it coming. It was your house, but if the same thing happened in my place, your husband and I would have gone outside and I would have had a “Come To Jesus” talk, and told him to apologize to you!!!!!!!
I sense that you two made up, but I think he should have manned up and told everyone that what he did was wrong and that he was sorry for it and that all of it was his fault.
My heart is sad because I know how much you try in this marriage and I’m just an outsider who only knows how much you hurt when you have needed and ear to nibble on.
I will say nothing more of this matter to you when we hang out again, because you will tell me that he apologized and so on, and so on, and so on………….
I heard it with my own two ears; those two words that were said purposeful to pull you into a fight and showed a lack of maturity and a disdain for YOUR correct chastising!!!!
I hurt also, ……because I would never treat you like that……and I think YOU know that.
