I wouldn’t have answered this question, or at least not this way, until I saw your topic “your mom.” LOL. I was living with my parents when my mother died and sometime, several weeks or a month or two after my mom died my dad, all of a sudden, took to spitting in the kitchen sink. He had always had post nasal drip problems but this was something so out there for him, so way beyond the ordinary. I was horrified. I don’t remember exactly what I said to him, I did basically tell him to just stop it, what the hell is wrong with you, but I remember thinking: “Oh my god! Was 47 years of marriage to my mother the only thing that stood between my father being a civilized man and being a complete brute, an animal?” I have seen many other things, but I am not sure what exactly you are going for by using the term “uncivilized” as opposed to any number of other words you could use to describe bad or evil behavior. I just kind of responded to your “your mom” topic on this one.
