Unto the stone.

We were talking about honesty of motive in writing about something true. FiFi doesn't like to start sentences with "I". I offered the idea of something about oneself that started and ended with the word "you." It's deceptive, she said

I think it's reasonable to a certain extent; I really do. I think the precise point where the burden shifts from oneself to their partner is the point where it becomes clear that it's not the action itself that is particularly unacceptable, but the reaction to said action that is unusually negative. In other words, if someone cheats on their partner, I think it's fairly safe to assume that the cheated party will be angry. However, if someone says something that might, from an outside perspective, seem perfectly normal that the partner takes offense to, it's the partner's responsibility to express their distaste. This is such a fuzzy line though; it's subjective, and that's always hard to gauge.

I think the times in my life where I didn't say anything were primarily because (a)I thought I might be being unreasonable and decided to keep my mouth shut for the sake of not causing an argument over something petty -and- (b)I just got so fucking sick and tired of constantly voicing complaints that I just gave up.

Definitely not a bad thing. Laughter is a precious commodity.

I can't help but hear buzz around the city, particularly after their revival, and I've heard a few tracks of theirs, although I'm by no means an afficionado. Pretend I listed the right track on the last response and input "I Love a Man in Uniform" into the quotation marks instead of having a temporary brain failure and thinking of A.R.E. Weapons instead.
