WAW1 - Anticipation

[markhaving probs]

As an update, during that situation yesterday my wife told me I needed to get two birthday cards for my mother, one from me and one from the children. She said "I don't see why I should get it". I validated her comment and said I would sort it out, but I was annoyed with myself as this was something I should have anticipated and therefore would have shown a good 180. It still shows control and the fact I think she still thinks she needs to treat me like another child. I am so angry with myself.

I really did miss a good opportunity yesterday, I just hope I did not make the situation worse. I think overall my W would have seen that whole situation yesterday as 'more of the same' from me I'm afraid.
