My brother came to me to vent on his divorce. I just showed him a clip of Road House to demonstrate the wisdom of not over-reacting to verbal attacks

"If your wife gets in your face and calls you a cocksucker, I want you to be nice."
"O-kay..."
"I want you to remember it's a divorce. It's *nothing personal.*"
"Uh huh, and being told that I never supported her and that she *deserves* this money isn't personal?"
"No. It's two sentences combined to elicit a prescribed response."
