Because we're not horrible people. We didn't provide something to our spouse that they needed. That's being HUMAN! Making mistakes is human, forgiving is divine. That's why giving forgiveness is so hard for our spouse, they have to stretch to do something that might be uncomfortable. And they think by doing it they're giving in to us. I wish they'd remember when they made mistakes and needed forgiveness and requested it of others. It's like they have done no wrong. We just want the same consideration they got when they needed repentance and forgiveness. Is that really so much to ask? I don't believe it to be, but who knows.
We can talk ourselves into defeat or we can talk ourselves into victory - we are creatures of our thinking.
