There’s a folk music duo around here, “Magpie” (Greg Artzner and Terry Leonino), who sang a song sort of on this topic–the refrain with something like this: “You were right, I was wrong, I’ll never doubt you again.”
I’ve recited it (usually in good humor) many times. If I happen to be in public, I may hear knowing chuckles from strangers.
Just saying it costs little and gains much in keeping strains out of the relationship. (Oh yeah, I sometimes get to hear it, too. )
I think I’ll go for the old “out a witch” method of being thrown in the well. I will rise to the surface, thus revealing my true nature, but if we could let it go at that it’ll be just fine.
