I have to be honest, I'm sick of the "be the bigger person" way of life with this family.

Will may be happy to be walked all over and be occasionally shit on by his family because he's "being the bigger person", but I'm sick of it, honestly.

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
