Independence and Marriage

[MarieK]

do you think they can go hand in hand.

John and Tracey were in an argument and John took up his car keys and told her to find her way to work. Tracey retaliated by calling a car rental agency and renting a Luxury SUV for the time that the car was in the shop.

Tracey, in relaying the incident to a colleague who questioned her new ride, suggested that Tracey has just told the man in no uncertain terms that he is not needed. Tracey maintained that she refuses to him for the keys because he knew her car was being serviced.

Tracey's friend continued by saying that Tracey handled it the wrong way and should have waited.

what do you think?

Re: Independence and Marriage

John may not have been thinking about Tracey's car being in the garage (seeing as how they were arguing and stuff)... still, I would've rented a car like Tracey did (not no luxury nutn doah) instead of telling him to wait up...

Re: Independence and Marriage


First I would love to know what is the motive for such reaction. Did she mist treat him unreasonable before. But if he just did that in the blink of an eye with out a cause I would say he is really dark and foo foo.

Re: Independence and Marriage

I disagree with both of these statements. Anger is impossible to avoid in a close relationship. What matters is how you argue and how you make up. And who wants to be in a relationship with someone who can never act independently? Yuck!

About the inital situation, I think she did just the right thing. [img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70458-applaud.gif[/img] He knew she didn't have a ride when he left. She could have taken a cab just for that day, but then she would have been in the same situation the next day, sucking after him for a ride. That was a real childish move on his part.[img]/forums/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/70388-shameonyou.gif[/img]
