Divorce has an uncanny way of making adults act and sound like sniveling adolescents. When either party in a divorce makes remarks that are insulting, belittling, childish, mean, rude, offensive or abusive, they are asking for trouble and higher attorney's fees.
Behavior of this type is counterproductive and does not help your case.
You must not aggravate your spouse, even when they deserve to be aggravated. If you find this difficult, then just don't say anything at all.
Consider this: When you are silent, you are depriving your spouse of something they would otherwise want to fight about. Silence leaves nothing to quarrel with, and provides nothing for the next negative thing to be built upon.
In the heat of the moment, when you are on the verge of fighting fire with fire, don't. What you say can and will be used against you. Utter the wrong thing now and you are likely to wind up paying for it later.
If you don't watch what you say, you are likely to get exactly what you don't want, and you will probably watch what you do want walk out the door with your spouse.
Never, ever pass up an opportunity to remain silent.
