I didn't recall this incident, but you are better than I, because I'm still holding a grudge against a coworker that was trying to force a student out of a lab course because he missed one class because he was dealing with taking his dog to the vet for emergency care (the dog did end up dying however, and the student was very broken up about it), and said, via email, that she didn't think it was a good enough excuse because it was just a dog. I totally blew up in my office and managed to email back and defend the student (cc'ing the chair) in a civil manner. But I just can't deal with her now.
I think not having children = better chance of a happy, non-argumentive marriage. At least all marriages I've seen fall apart, it seems so tied in with that transition to parenthood- major changes in communication, expectations, etc. Honestly, this past year, I've been most fed up with people who I once respected, having affairs. Like I need to be privy to that info, and you know, if you are frustrated and feel like your marriage is over, then get a damn divorce.
Boy, I sound bitter and cranky today- I'm not really! Happy to hear that you are kind and forgiving, and still enjoy being married!
