On a scale of 1 to 10...how hard is it for you to come to the conclusion that sometimes situations cannot be resolved...& that the better part of valor is just to STFU?
The older I get the more I realize that this is true...so I will give myself a 5... |

Depends on the situation....
Though, I must say that most situations are caused by 2 parties not understanding each other, and keeping silent only makes the issue worse. On your scale, I would have to say that I'm a 1, as I truly believe that most situations (as in 99.5%) are solvable. |

That's a great attitude but I'm also referring to beating a dead horse...sometime I think we just need to agree to disagree...life's too short for yammering on & on about something that can't be controlled...talk about it...try to solve it...& if not, walk away as friends. |

I'm a ten. Over the years I've come up with many ways to "defuse" a situation that cannot be resolved.

Not sure what I would be considered but I do know if I'm going to make my point about a situation I can do it without putting the other one down or by not making more of it then it was.
And will admit to anyone if in fact I was out of line and said or did anything that caused the situation to escalate. To me it is all in the wording never add to a situation to make one look better instead just be honest and come to a solution. |

Mike & I like The Handcuff Method...while "discussing" things, we put the cuffs on...one for him, one for me...can't run away from that! Kind of forces ya' to be diplomatic...hehehehe... |

Hell that is easy for you to say and could be a lot of fun in the end. But............now since there is no man in my life I sure don't want to handcuff myself to someone I'd rather get away from when it is all over lol

But I am an excelent escape artist, and the cuffs always end up on you.....Then the..."discusions" really start, and diplomacy takes flight. |
