To make a REALLY long story shorter, a relative said that I said I would never take my husband's last name and wear it proudly (never mind that I have been doing so for 14 years and have been in love with him since I was 13 years old)...and that I called her a bitch in front of my 2nd grade students (that I was teaching at that particular time). Talk about a TOTALLY fabricated story! What really hurt was that my husband's mother took her stupid, unfounded lies for truth! I exploded...I come from a family where we say what we feel, air it out, and move on. His family is the exact opposite...tip toe around, sparing feelings, brush it under the rug...we all had a come to Jesus meeting and it was pretty rough there for a while. My husband did speak out and stand up for me but the damage was done and it hasn't been the same since. I can now tolerate and be cordial but there is that underlying crack in the relationship. I guess we learn that time heals all wounds and that life goes on whether we are ticked off or not. I have made it my goal to NOT let those kinds of things drag me down...I am not losing years off my life, sleep at night, WHATEVER over someone else's stupidity. Go with your gut and do what you feel needs to be done and then move on and be a better person because of it. I always tell my husband, I am not stooping to someone else's level of ignorance.<BR/>Not much advice and certainly not "Dr. Phil worthy" but my two cents anyway...Jewelshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111303963391129983noreply@blogger.com
