Fantastic!!! See, under all that bluff and bluster she is really just a scared and hurt kid.
You have a pattern where you do something that you know is damaging to the relationship, then you just start acting like everything is fine and, when I don't act the same way you get all, 'look who's so grouchy today' and set me up as the bad guy.
Pay VERY close attention to this statement. She is saying a lot here and you need to own up to your part as the minimizer. Guilt is a huge driver for MrsHD. That means emotions, acceptance, respect, validation, all come into play with her. But she will never let you see it. You’re on a good path right now. Keep up the momentum and try to store up the love bank points. Keep up the communication. Things will turn bad sometime on the future so the better you can prepare now, the less damaging this will be later. She’s so damn much like my wife it isn’t funny!
