The Get-Back Game

You already know that the get-back game does not work. It is the game that will lead you to a life of sorrow and horror. It will lead someone else to bitterness and or hatred. The get-back game is a clear road to divorce.

The game is: you said something to me that irritated me this morning, and I am going to wait to the perfect time and do something to get you back. The difference is, I am going to add to you more because of how it made me feel when you did it to me. I want you to feel the pain I felt when you did it to me. I want to see you hurt. you didn't necessarily see me hurt. You just saw a tear come from my eye. If you knew what that tear meant, you would have said I am sorry right away. you act like you didn't know what was going on. I was in emotional pain all day, all week or longer because of what you did or said to me. I am going to make you pay.

This is a recipe for failure. It does not work. It builds and builds until you have built a house of hatred. It is something that you probably will not recover from.
