I've come to realize that I would treat other people better than her at times b/c I somehow mistakenly believed that b/c we were married, she "understood" and "knew" I wasn't mad at her, but just feeling safe to vent. I know. It is crazy, but it is how my thoughts went and how many married people think. We tend to believe the BS of "hurt the ones you love the most" b/c they'll understand and accept it
You and practically everyone else in this world. Not sure it's pathological, but I think it's great that you mentioned it. It's useful for all of us to keep in mind.
