i asked hubby to read the OP and then read my reply. and give me his opinion. i told him i spoke for him, and i wanted to hear what he thought.
it was interesting. illuminating. and helped me to see it a bit differently. we almost always arrive at the same place. which makes life a hell of a lot easier. and we almost always arrive at that same place in a different manner.
BUT...
when he read the OP he said, ok, he did the right thing. made sure she got home safely. that was about it.
when he read my post, he said, ya, you are right. good point. yes, i would have done that. true that. hadnt thought about that.
when we discussed it he said that he was not picking up on it the same as i, but he gets what i was saying. his reading of it was more .... shallow. so, that helped me to understand why there are people on this thread answering as they are.
i get it.
