Completely agree. Be the bigger person and let it go. -- nm - pmb May 29, 12:42 13
- I have to be honest, I'm sick of the "be the bigger person" way of life with this family. - kelly May 29, 12:49 12
  - I get that. My wife and I disagree about this too when it comes to dealing with my ex. The thing is, for me anyway, you have to separate what makes - pmb May 29, 13:21
  - I live in a family like this. Don't think about fairness. Think of it as doing what works. -- nm - loosilu May 29, 12:54
  - I know it's frustrating, but just keep in mind the hassles caused by not being the bigger person. -- nm - Roger More May 29, 12:51 8
    - His family not speaking to us would be possibly one of the greatest things to ever happen in my life. :) - kelly May 29, 12:55 7
      - so sorry it's at that level, Will and you. bad family stuff just plain sucks. -- nm - b. May 29, 12:57 5
        
        Oh, it's just me. - kelly May 29, 13:00 4
        
        I can't imagine the culture shock of coming from a healthy family into a disfunctional one. -- nm - loosilu May 29, 13:04 1
        
        Well, we had an okay relationship before I moved, but it got a lot better after I moved here. - kelly May 29, 13:12
        
        dealing with your own family stuff can be toughl. someone else's family stuff is tougher. - Andie May 29, 13:02 1

      - if it were my family, there wouldn't be any "not speaking". There would just be endless sniping. -- nm - loosilu May 29, 12:55
  - i get that, i really do. it's just that there is more at stake here. -- nm - Andie May 29, 12:50
