So, the Wusband and the Cow broke up for good. And he's still trying to work through his issues and change his behavior patterns. Which is a good thing. So, he called me tonight about this, and here is the conversation: ( You Truly Won't Believe It )

... tears as blackmail ... irrational jealousy rage/pout ... storm out of the room in a huff... Wow, seem's he and I have more in common that I knew. There was a time when I had re-actions to those things that were similar behavior patterns: I don't care what caused it! Fix it! The process I went through to get past it was finally recognizing that I was acting out the same script (nearly word for word) each time. Once I recognized I was in a pattern then that gave me permission to change it. I wonder how many times he will have to go through the same "exact" behavior pattern before he realizes that its a scripted response to each dramatic portrayal? Has he ever done theater? (with an actual script, not the drama of his life.) Does he remember who he is for real? Not the characterizations that he portrays to moderate the drama around him. Or is the part of him that seems to vanish when he moderates (emotionally invests in) emotional crises that aren't his?
...when it even starts approaching fury, it is still rational.... "That" is amazing, also very humbling cause I'm so not there yet. With anger? yes, Fury? ahhh that would be a resounding "no, not even close".
...storming out of the room in a huff is evidence of a poor IQ ROTLMAO! just leaves this one alone as I wipe the tears of laughter from my eyes... Its not dissimilar to my opinion of cussing being evidence of a lack of education.
...use it as ammunitions on each other OHHHHh ouch, yea I have been down that road and been the subject of that road both. That is an ugly game to say nothing of unbelievably rude to the person they use as a weapon to attack each other with. Good call on your part to not participate in that as well as to see it for what it was before it could suck you into it.
