Relating

In that little column entitles 'Other People's Thoughts' I have links to True Wife Confessions and Post Secret. Both provide with a catharsis of sorts from my own demons.

This one from True Wife Confessions hit close to home:

You know what? I quit, I give up, you win. That's what you want to hear, right? You want to hear that I just give up and you get things your way, I mean that makes your life so much simpler in the end anyway. If I give you both worlds then your life is everything you want it to be, who cares about me and the way that I feel? Yes, I know you say you only want to make me happy and that it makes you feel horrible when I'm sad, especially when I'm sad because of you, and I believe you, I really do. However, that doesn't stop what's going on, those words and apologies have come to mean very little to me lately. You don't follow any of your words with the actions that you should, and even worse the actions that you've started you've failed to follow through with. I realise I've been patient so far, and I realize I've probably only enabled this further, but that has run out. I have, for a long time, been fed up with all this, and all these games. I hate playing games, and for the past 3 years that's all this has been.
(some words have been modified for accuracy)

I wonder if I have the courage to post my own:

I think in the end you were just a lying, cheating, selfish, manipulative bitch with no sense of morality or shame, but I was just too polite to say it to your face.
