RESENTMENT

Resentment, not money, is the greatest killer of relationships. Reverend Love.Any man can be strong when he has low Interest Level. Sal The Fish Love.If she has a big mouth, at least you know where shes coming from. Doc Love.

Resentment is a strange phenomenon. Why? Because it kills love and people dont realize it. It occurs when your partner in the relationship doesnt do what you think she (he) is supposed to do. If you do not have a full-blown argument about it,or at least mention it, or your partner apologizes, you feel more resentful. And if your partner doesnt Change, there is even more resentment.Resentment feeds on you like termites feed on your home. (Time is on their side.)And we all know what that does to your Interest Level. Two or three episodes ofresentment per month over a 20-year period and its divorce time.Tom takes the pickle jar out of the refrigerator and drops it. Why? Because hiswife Caprice cannot, for some strange reason, seem to screw the top back on anycontainer. Lids and tops just sit loosely on the jars and receptacles that Caprice opens. Tom has mentioned it to her several times but nothing has changed. Nowbroken glass, pickles and juice are all over the floor and on his new pants. Caprice walks in, and they proceed to say un-loving things to each other. They willnot kiss that night.Tom should adjust to Caprices shortcoming, and tighten the tops and lids before picking anything up. He should think about the many positive things Caprice doesfor him, things that his buddies complain that their wives never do for them. Tu

rns out that Caprice has arthritis, and Tom should be more giving on this one.Patience (one-third of Control) is the ability to continue loving your partner in spite of her many faults. For some strange reason these never surfaced in thedating stage of the relationship. On the other hand, maybe you were just too blinded by your high Interest Level to see them.Every woman (even Super Bimbo and Miss Airhead) over 12 years young knows that aman who is young, dumb, constantly horny, and whose Interest Level is astronomical toward her usually gets her way. She knows that he is not rational. Its as ifshe has cast a spell on this poor, out-of- control man.Caprice gets deathly sick on Wednesday night and Tom takes her to the hospital.He does not leave her bedside until Saturday night, after the doctor says Caprice will be okay. Tom is stressed out and Caprice tells him to go. Reluctantly Tomleaves for four hours and relaxes at the local beer joint with his concerned be

st buddies. At midnight, he is back at Caprices side, where he hears I almost diedand youre out drinking! There will be no kissing when she gets back home.Next time this happens, Tom will understand that Go out with your buddies and unwind is Womanese for Stay by my side. As it turns out, Caprices mother died in a hosital alone.Guys, loving is patient. Its too bad that people in love have to live with each other. But to make it worse, men pick Inflexible Takers with low Interest Level.And we all know what they do: criticize, berate, tongue-lash, and tell you how dumb you are with their stares and glares. Every time you say or do something, she is there with her barbs and zingers. (And here we thought that love was supposed to be loving!)The Key is to speak up, calmly. Realize that nobody is perfect, not even you; sodont get stuck on the small (isnt it always?) stuff. If something bothers you, ge

t it out long before you get married. Remember, forgetting and forgiving are thesame, or you shouldnt be with her to begin with.
