sleepy he was horrible....serious little man syndrome! Very sad. What made me sadder was that his wife colluded with it, even after seeing how extreme and vimdictive his behaviour was. I started out feeling quite sorry for her, but she saw how much better her life could be, and still decided to stick around...I know even an emotionally abusive relationship like that could seem "normal" and "safe" to a person, but only if they haven't seen an alternative reality....I can't believe the perspective she gained by taking part in the show didn't provide sufficient impetus for her to get out. And not only for her sake, but her son's sake too (the one with muscular dystrophy, not the other one, who was just like his dad).
unruly, sorry love, I thought that Wife Swap may have been what got you thinking on mind games, as one husband on there "enjoyed playing them". Sick, sad man.
I think life's too short for any kind of games, unless they are of the apple-bobbing or Twister variety! If I feel something, I will say it, if I would like something, I will ask. I expect others to afford me the same courtesy. No patience with game players, I just walk away, metaphorically and physically. x
