I just have to get this out, ms. imp.

You know how mad spouse's actions and manipulations make you? Well.. it seems your guy's actions do the same to me.

What a load of bull-hockey.. shifting his own issues off on you, making you feel responsible. BZZZZT! And then you thank him for the time spent together and apologize for your wrongdoing.. BZZZZT!!

Holy guacamole, ms imp.. I did the same thing with spouse. It seemed right and noble at the time, but reading you doing it makes me think.. what in the heck???

You are not and will never be a second class citizen, second to anyone in this world. You are wonderful, loving and brilliant.. and are getting much better at accepting compliments.

Sorry for ranting.. you're just too wonderful to apologize for caring.
