The older i have gotten, the more I don't say things like I would like to say them or I just don;t say anything at all.

"... some men who cheat their wives out of grocery money wouldn't think of cheating the grocer. Men tend to carry their honesty in pigeonholes, Jean Louise. They can be perfectly honest in some ways and fool themselves in other ways."

I despise the indefinite. Everyone likes, "Yes," and most can accept, "No." But if someone tells me, "Maybe...," it implies, "If something preferable doesn't come along." It instantly triggers my guard.

Last night I sat through an oncology meeting with my mother. The doctor didn't sugarcoat a thing. By the end of the session, my stepfather and I had silent tears but my mother seemed fine.

Was it denial? I wondered.

Nope. This morning while I was still asleep, my mom apparently told my stepfather, "the statistics have never worked in my favor," so she is very aware of what the doctor told her. In the past, doctors wouldn't tell patients if they were dying of cancer; now they do. And while the truth is painful, at least it's not that elephant in the room any more and you realize how the odds are always in favor of the house.

BINGO! A man's ego is much more fragile than most women think. It must be stroked like his penis to get attention and the women who succeed have learned the art of being patently false. I believe that flirting is a game that is, for the most part, an semi-innocent exercise. Truth, like love and everything else now, is relative and is no longer dependent on fact.

Truth....is always better....but it still hurts...

I'm so sorry about the trials to be had and my sincerest wishes for her, you and your family....

Quoting Svetya:

Twosharp2,
It is with good reason that "maybe" triggers you; it is usually a veiled no. I suppose it may seem passive aggressive, but I think it is the other person's way of saying "no" without feeling they are being overly cruel.


You're probably right in that most "maybes" are veiled "nos." Interesting that "maybe" triggers me but "no" doesn't. I much prefer knowing a situation's status over being left in limbo. To me, it's inconsiderate and sometimes even cruel. An analogy is ignoring someone; a psychologist once stated, "Ignoring them is the cruelest thing you can do to another human being."
