It seems DH is plotting to secretly meet an old GF while on a business trip. WWYD?

[CoteDAzur]

He hasn't breathed a word about this to me and it sounds like a rather romantic date.

WWYD?

Cote - glad you are ok

EI is imho more than empathy alone. Insight, perception and instinct all feature.

Blimey, Cote - just been catching up on the flood news. Are you OK?

(Looks as if the water might have interfered with DH's adventure, if you hadn't already!)

Thanks for asking but we have had only a bit of rain. I'm on the beach right now actually and it's perfectly sunny

Good Thanks.

"I think you're right about women being just as deficient in emotional intelligence, but would suggest you might just be one of those women."

Personal insult? Very immature. I was making a general observation, I always try to avoid personal insults as I think they are insulting.

Yes, it's quite possible I am one of those people - but then you might be as well. I would never have written that myself as I would consider it to be patronising and also designed to irritate and inflame.

I am probably hurting about as much or little as anyone else - we all have our stuff to deal with, it's just HOW we deal with it.

And for what it is worth, I have had stuff to deal with (not infidelity which is not such a big deal in my own opinion) that is dificult and challenging and maybe puts the infidelity stuff into the "not such a big deal" bracket compared to other stuff - eg: very sick children, bereavement etc.

Sorry, but personal insults are very immature.

poodie - your angle on this makes complete sense if you've had other more traumatic stuff to deal with. Sorry to hear you had to cope with sick dc and bereavement
