Retaliating.

It’s like in the movie, “You’ve Got Mail” where Meg’s character says to Hanks that he was correct, she felt terrible when she managed to give someone (him as she later finds) a verbal lashing they deserved. Today, I told someone I was glad they had done something nasty of late to me. I said, “You did me a favour. I used to really like you..and now I can’t stand you.” I walked away and he just stood there. I meant it when I said it. At least I thought I had, because I’d thought it all day when I saw him. Yet, once the words had come out, I felt almost tearful. I think I love this man. Maybe I shouldn’t dwell on it, for the way he had been traeting me lately is some indication that he wouldn’t have been phased anyway, even if we did get on really well before. Just his wide-eyed expression as I said it has been anough to freeze my heart with regret. I shouldn’t have said anything. I could have left it :(

It might help to just apologize, even if he doesn’t accept it. It would be good for both of you. If you feel so bad for what you said and didn’t mean, you can tell him something you mean.

What did he do to you that caused you to say that to him?

There is nothing like anger to bring out the truth in ones relationship. Even if it was the truth for the moment, it was an important step in the development of your relationship. Caution: once words are unleashed, they can’t be taken back. But, once in awhile, it can be just what the doctor ordered.
