I think men are better able to deal with these types of situations. They have been taught to be in charge of their environment. Women have been taught to be "nice" and not to hurt someone else's feelings. What they forgot to teach us that it should not hurt someone else's feelings if we firmly stand up for ourselves.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-17028720097138953942016-09-03T08:25:33.260-05:002016-09-03T08:25:33.260-05:00But it takes a long "cooling" down perio...But it takes a long "cooling" down period after that.<br /><br />That is my experience.<br /><br />Very excited.rainfield61https://www.blogger.com/profile/01334864123466123667noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-79683716030790994352016-09-03T06:16:57.754-05:002016-09-03T06:16:57.754-05:00Good for you.
