No, that is NOT what 'rich oral tradition' means.

The True Gentleman is the man whose conduct proceeds from good will and an acute sense of propriety, and whose self-control is equal to all emergencies; who does not make the poor man conscious of his poverty, the obscure man of his obscurity, or any man of his inferiority or deformity; who is himself humbled if necessity compels him to humble another; who does not flatter wealth, cringe before power, or boast of his own possessions or achievements; who speaks with frankness but always with sincerity and sympathy; whose deed follows his word; who thinks of the rights and feelings of others, rather than his own; and who appears well in any company, a man with whom honor is sacred and virtue safe.

I dunno. Just seems like an awfully small hat, you know?

My dear, my darling, my very best friend. I've asked twice in two days now whether you feel physically safe. You've responded to some other things I talked about in the emails I sent and told me how you feel better now, but you haven't said a word about that one question, asked lovingly but matter-of-factly. I adore your husband and would never have thought it except for that one little thing that you said, and even then I thought I was just asking to be sure, just in case, because you never can tell, even though I knew I would get a great gush of a reply about oh no, of course not, he would never!...and now your responding but not responding has me so very, very worried.
I'm going to ask again, you know. I can't make you answer, but I can damn well ask again. |

Yes you can, and should. You should put it just that way, too.

I was in my car the first time I heard this. I had to pull over. It's exactly what it felt like. |

You're the one who wanted to buy a fvcking house. You're the one who's gotten sick of it and wants to sell it. Why is it now, whenever something goes wrong, you sneer "you take care of it"?

Maybe people who don't like to try new things don't like to try new things for a reason. Like Anaphylaxis.

I've been waiting for months for you to make a decision, and now you act as if it's my choice that we're still here.

Actions speak louder than words. Just saying.
