Thirteen years ago I married my ex-girlfriend. It really is an awesome love story. One that has all the makings of a great “B” movie filled with mundane and under produced action sequences and excessive nude scenes.

When conflict arises, are you the person who's quick to apologize, wanting to sweep everything under the rug so the tension goes away? Or are you the one who tends to hold that hurt for a while, allowing the offensive words to gain a life of their own? Most of us identify with one approach or the other when arguments happen in love.

There she was; the lady who always looked at me with disdain. “What have I ever done to her?” I wondered. “Why does she disapprovingly look at me when I’ve never really had a conversation with her?” I was baffled by the sour look she gave me every time I saw her. I racked my brain trying to figure it out. The weird thing was that her friend liked me; we laughed and talked like we had known each other... 9/13/2018 7:00:00 AM
