Yes, it's a fishing forum, but you apparently missed the heading
to this page, where it says
'General Chit-Chat' (non-fishing talk) ! You want JUST fishing,
then go back to the Main Page !
THIS page often covers many topics and gives people a
chance to vent or rant about
other issues that matter to them; some may be fishing-related,
while many are NOT !

DENNY: You seem to be caught
in the middle between two strongly opposing viewpoints; years ago, I had a job where my
superior gave me instructions
to perform a certain task, then
HIS superior came by shortly
after and gave me a different
job ! When my boss asked me
why the first job wasn't done,
I told him about his superior
telling me to do otherwise; I
then suggested to both of them that they get their heads
together and decide which job they wanted done first, THEN come to me and give me their decision so that I would know
how best to proceed ! I
reminded them (although
I am not religious) that the
BIBLE tells you that "no man
can serve two masters" ! Maybe you need to tell YOUR
counselors to get together and 'duke it out' instead of offering
confusing and often conflicting advice ! Trying to figure out who's right and which advice to follow could conceivably screw things
up worse ! A third party might
be a good idea to help you
decide which/who's advice to
follow !

I see that it is Gen chit chat. I was really just trying to lighten up a pretty heavy topic. I read his post and got what he wanted to share out of it. He said they argued by text before she arrived......in tears, as he ended his story saying. I am a girl and I realize that most guys do not think the way most girls think. I can not tell by his post if she really felt heard or not, sometimes we do not feel understood and just figure the guy does not have the capacity to truly get us. We just try to end the conversation peacefully and leave smiling. He said he talked over her, after she asked for him to listen silently and he felt the need to interrupt. I read his post and I still think they should go fishing. It is good alone time, the water has a calming effect and if you catch a fish, it is fun.

Sorry for trying to be light
