We all have situations in life that we are ashamed to remember later. Not only because we behaved in a somehow undignified manner – but simply because,mentally returningto this situation, we experience a strong feeling of shame. Or the desire to ‘take it back’ and do it differently.

Several months later the man reminded his fiancee of this case in response to her bragging about her own incredible bravery – and got called a huge jerk in return
So, the Original Poster (OP) is a 25-year-old man, and his fiancee ‘Jess’ is a year younger. The couple also has a 9-month-old daughter, with whom they once, several months ago, returned home late in the evening. The family was walking along a suburban road, where they had walked many times, but at one point they heard loud, suspicious sounds.
Having dealt with the problem, our hero turned to his fiancee – and was surprised to find her several dozens of feet away, rapidly running away from the scene of the conflict. Jess was rushing so quickly and selfishly that she didn’t respond to the OP’s screams, and he had to call her to bring her back.

“On the one hand, of course, this woman didn’t act very nicely, leaving her child in danger under the influence of stress,” says Irina Matveeva, apsychologistand certified NLP specialist, whomBored Pandaasked for a comment here. “And even had some audacity to brag of her own probable bravery to a person who witnessed her cowardice in a similar case.”
“On the other hand, the man could also not ridicule the behavior of his fiancee, but simply express the same point of view, but somehow more delicately. In the end, it’s pretty obvious that the mechanism for the occurrence of a stressful situation in her was approximately the same – only to avoid possible offense, I would recommend using more diplomatic expressions,” Irina ponders.
