Sarcasm

If the doctor says you only have six months to live, get married immediately. This will make the six months seem like forever.

Sarcasm? Of course. I despise sarcasm. Some people love it, and I am not one of them. As a joke on stage? You bet. It's not directed at someone personally. Sarcasm to those who don't like it is insulting and painful. It is the quintessential element in condescension.

Let's say that your significant other loves to be sarcastic, but you would much rather have a loving, nurturing relationship where you can grow a healthy future together, that is full of love and support. No purposeful insults, rather inspiring, uplifting comments that are motivational to the other partner.

If both people like sarcasm, that's great. It will most likely work for them. They can trade witty barbs back and forth to their hearts content, and be very happy together.

Let's face it, however. Life is not a sitcom, where the writers insert sarcastic barbs every seven minutes, or so, to get laughs from an audience. This is real life, and if sarcasm continues when it feels like pain to the other partner, there soon will be two single people.

Most everyone has the urge to get sarcastic during an argument. I think that's probably natural. Still, it doesn't need to be said. We all have the ability to hold back and not utter hurtful words that can never be taken back.

There are those who say, "Oh, I was just kidding" after uttering sarcastic, hurtful comments to their partner. The one they should feel closest too. The relationship that should be mutually fulfilling.

Am I saying the sarcastic person is wrong? No. Am I saying the one who hates sarcasm is wrong? No. What I am saying is that they are probably mismatched. Home should be a safe haven for both individuals. A place for each partner to go and feel loved and wanted. If it's one sided, it's toxic for each other.

If the two can talk about it and come to a resolution that is kept, it should work out. If not, the relationship, sadly becomes another statistic.

I really hope this helps some of you in your relationships. Give your partner what they want and watch what happens. It can be amazing.

See you tomorrow.
