    Yeah, but I am usually the one throwing them.  I seriously have been the target and I have thrown the barbs and I would rather be the target.  I do not like to hurt anyone.

    My ex-husband could get pretty nasty in arguments. I never experienced that with anyone else, regardless of the circumstances.

      (I think Neelie is referring to negative comments directed to you and/or your significant other by people who disapprove of your relationship, such as a May- December one or an interracial one.)

    A couple of times - many years ago.

    The barbs made me think; I realised I needed to make changes.
    I did and they worked.

      "Why aren't you with me, Randall? What does she have that I don't have? Sob, sniff."




    I get that a lot.

    Oh yes.  That's spot on.
