After I posted this I left the computer because hubby wanted to talk. I hoped he had cooled off. Not. We had fight about it, he slept downstairs and left for work early this morning without saying good bye.

I just signed on to see what DU'ers thoughts were about this and two of the three responses seem to agree with him. That I should have kept quiet.

I don't think I can.

I didn't start this. I didn't go out with an agenda. The other person wasn't shy about putting Kerry down. To put this in context, a woman came in and couldn't decide what she wanted to drink so this guy said she was just like Kerry - wishy washy and we should take a poll of the bar to see what she should have. Everyone laughed.

I didn't yell and scream. I didn't call him names. But I did challenge what he said - and agreed to talk about it another time (which I will, I have his phone number).

Part of me thinks the price for speaking out was too high (fight with hubby). But a voice inside is screaming that the price for keeping my mouth shut it even higher.

We are supposed to go to a party tomorrow night and hubby said he won't go with me unless I promise not to say ANYTHING about politics and/or world events - even if someone else brings it up. At least that's what he said last night.

I don't think I can. I don't think I want to.

I feel so alone right now.
