But like you, I have always tried to find the reason in people. Luckily, with only 3 years on, my husband hasn't given in to the cynicism quite yet. He has always been quite the optimist, and I hope he will always be that way.MJhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15508596301640968425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-76939382423869072852010-06-16T23:33:54.064-06:002010-06-16T23:33:54.064-06:00My husband gets pretty cynical sometimes as well, ...My husband gets pretty cynical sometimes as well, and when he first started his job he asked me to be his "mirror" and let him know when he got too negative about things. The funny thing is, when I see a car speed past us on the highway, I say, "There must be a woman IN LABOR in that car" while he says, "Those jerks need to slow the heck down."<br /><br />It is a good balance -one I think every cop/spouse relationship needs (not that I know much). <br /><br />When I'm mistreated, I feel like you do. I'm hurt. Then I'm angry. Then I phone a friend and talk it out. Then I think about it for a day or two and decide that the person who hurt me must have issues of their own. In the end I think I wish them well. At least, I like to think I do but I don't know that that's always true. ;)Story Ladyhttp://storyladyblog.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-57107185222572925842010-06-16T18:37:36.951-06:002010-06-16T18:37:36.951-06:00There is a mean old lady in our extended family. ...There is a mean old lady in our extended family. We try hard to love her and do the right thing by her whenever we can, but it sure goes against the grain. I guess that's the true measure of love: doing what is best for the other regardless of how you feel about it. I remind myself often that it's not up to me how other people act towards me. It is my responsibility as to how I respond.<br /><br />RosemaryAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06121172465022137270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6238620785264569657.post-36406308211768623902010-06-15T05:43:00.558-06:002010-06-15T05:43:00.558-06:00Yes!! you are not alone!
