well may,
"none of you acknowledges that the old lady could indeed be malicious and agressive."
- u might like to look back to the initial stages to see if this is true.
the person present here is galileo, and the problem can only be addressed by her. In any case if u truly think it's 1 bad person in the story, then what do u suggest?
my stand is for her to leave the marriage instead of whining like she has 200yrs to live.
whilst i can understand where u are coming from, u're also blighted by this "me-against-the-world" stance of late. it's rather obvious u're trying to prove a point that is beyond the thread objectives... and move to a state where u're trying hard to prove that u are your own woman.
perhaps due to previous incidents, but u should also realise u're not the only strong person here.
for that matter, it's all words... u still need to prove yourself Worthy on career, finances, overall happiness. where happiness is built on other pple's misery, it is only 10 as good as one built out of your own efforts.
so really, u should quity trying to prove yourself being an individual and being your own woman. u dun really hold a candle to a few individuals here whom u're trying to prove yourself against.
and yes, this is getting personal becos of the stance u took.
galileo is a foregone conclusion... she will Not have a happy fruitful life on current mindset. that is a guaranteed thing.
so back to u... your happiness and deemed happiness, will be shortlived. emptiness will come in the moment u no longer see viable fights to engage in, that's why u're engaging more than u should, and even when u shouldn't.
u're blind at the moment. think before u even reply me.
