Hi Tim, firstly ur great!

2ndly, mmm.. quick story.
A girlfriend (who has long bn my friend & is quite sweet & spiritual USUALLY & does some good works) & I went on holiday for a wk & we argued about a £7 cab fare. (She was the aggressor- I held it down as I ws shocked at her pettyness & paranoia at thinking the cabbie ws trying to rip her off.

I also thought my temper -if I lost it – she cld not handle, plus I love my friend). I should probably have argued back, but I couldnt do it.

It was an eye opener to see that she could act this way. She had just split wth her boyfriend. Maybe we have to see how much other pressure the other person is under, & possibly the ‘test’ they get given is the straw that broke the camel’s back’. What do u reckon people?
