So I, as a social worker, the first thing I'm always preaching is don't worry about controlling the other.
Control yourself.
Take that deep breath.
Lower your shoulders.
Think twice.
Do not act impulsively.
And learn that, for goodness sakes, sometimes saying nothing is a far more potent strategy.
Having said that.
And now for the opposing view.
Yes.
And, you know, that takes some level, again, of calm, maturity and thinking things through.
So I'm not telling anyone what to do here.
I'm not saying don't post it.
Go ahead and post it.
Think through.
How would you feel if the shoe was on the other foot and you read this about yourself?
And could you withstand any potential backlash?
Yes, yes, yes.
Listen, I've told friends in that situation, they were bad-mouthing their partner to me
And they were separating.
