The Cat's Out of The Bag: A Final Commentary
Wow! Who knew a fight about nothing would have y'all saying something. Now you see how I felt about it. Most of you pointed out how this argument was silly and blown out of proportion, which was precisely my point all along.
In fact, my anger stemmed from the fact that he got so angry. I didn't really care one way or another about the stupid bag. I didn't give much thought to it which, in his eyes was all the more reason I shouldn't have taken the bag. Because he did care.
But the real purpose of this post is to make a few clarifications:
Recycling and/or what the bag was made out of was not a factor in the argument.
Yes, the purchase was technically mine and mine alone.
The bag, I believe, is still in my possession. When we got to the car, he in his fit of anger, took the item out of the bag and tossed the bag somewhere in the car. When I left his place we weren't talking and I proceeded to put said item back in the bag before carrying it into the house, just as I planned.
I can't speak to insecurities on either side. I mean I could, I suppose, but let's just shelf that as the "don't go there" part of the argument for now. I will say that yes, I agree that the argument was not about the keeper of the bag per se. But then again, what little thing arguments are ever really about little things?
I agree, to an extent, that men and women communicate differently. But then again, many men commented here and agreed...with me. So there goes that theory.
Finally, for those of you who are wondering, I have yet to show the comments on this post to my boyfriend. I will warn you though, he is an excellent debater. My guess is he will say one of 2 things:
1. You don't understand the backstory and thus you would naturally side with me.
2. You are all my readers and thus you are still going to side with me.
Regardless, I should post things like this more often just to keep my sanity. Perhaps hooking up a live feed would help. I also know we all would love to see his rebuttal up here as a guest blog.
Finally, on a semi-related note, Foxy Mama, go here to read all about the modern day wonder that is Tivo. I promise you won't be disappointed.
