By the way, a very interesting thread, Tisha.
I guess we all share similar experiences or had to face to similar situations.

At a different level, I’m convinced we all have to face to daily situations when we feel triggered and have to manage our reactions.

Gonna tell you an example, nothing to do with a deep concern as dealing with a loved person as your husband. But, a strange in the street. A woman was walking her dog (she seemed not to be very skilful
with it) so she got angry at me because her dod wanted to meet my doggies that were without a leash. She got all angry and yelled out something like ( This f@cking bit$ is not gonna tie her doggies). I went all shocked but I said nothing. I thought: She has a bad day, sure. And I felt so good for not responding to her. She even cursed me. And I’m a temperamental person (I have gypsy blood running through my veins) but I didn’t want to go
through a hard moment or losing time by getting upset. I had my kids (doggies) to enjoy with. This person had problems. I’m sure she didn’t mean what she said. Something made her say what she said. It was about her, not me.
