If you hit a dog it will always return to you - it might be sad but it will forgive.

If you hit a cat it will run away - a cat neither forgets nor forgives.

My father told me this as a child but I didn't understand it. My father also told me to always have something heating up on the back burner - I didn't understand that, either. At 35 years old and in the middle of a divorce, becoming nastier by the day, I wantd to share these two sayings, especially if you're in your 20's or below. I never hit my wife nor kids but I said some things, to my wife, and that was enough. I thought you MGTOW were losers until recently, honestly. I'm so very sorry. I should've listened to my father and I should've listened to you. Just because you love them that does not make them special.
