Something that people do all the time. We have a friend/family member, they do something to majorly piss us off, and then that's that. Everytime that person comes into our lives, we think back to the thing they did to annoy or upset us.
We look at them with different eyes, they are no longer the person we once loved, the laughs we used to have and the secrets we used to share,
How can you keep that one thought for so long to ruin such a relationship. My dog doesn't do that!
Just yesterday my dog did something really REALLY bad, I won't go into the details, because that's between me and him, but suffice to say, when I caught him, he got thrown into the garden for about an hour. He's normally out there for 5-10 periods and when he wants to come in, he jumps up at the door and we let him in. He knew he had done wrong. He sat by the door and pined, he stared at me walking past the door. His tail between his legs.
After that hour, I let him in, he slunk to his bed and we went out for a couple of hours. When I got home, he knew it was a fresh start. He ran over to me, sat by my feet, not as cheeky as normal jumping up, but we looked at each other and knew that that mornings antics were over, and we were back to normal. He wagged his tail, we cuddled and all forgotten.
Sometimes, people need to be more like dogs. If someone has done something to hurt you, think about how you can overcome it. Swear and shout for a bit, and then look at your relationship with that person. Is is really worth losing so much over? Can you not express your concern "What you said/did has really pissed me off"
"Oh i'm sorry, I didn't mean to"
"That's ok, please don't mention/do that again, it really hurts!"
"No, I didn't realise how much that would upset you, I won't do it again"
"Great, Fancy a coffee?"
Everyone, at some point in their life will piss someone else off, and be pissed off by someone close. Get over it. Move on and don't hold grudges.
