My wife texted me today that she wished yesterday didn't happen. I don't know exactly what she means by that, whether it means she wish it didn't happen because she liked our progress with baby steps....or....she wished it didn't happen because that was the nail in the coffin of our marriage. Either way, I'm not going to pursue too hard. I did text her back and tell her I wish it didn't happen either and liked how things had been going with us lately and I appreciate that she was trying.
Except that she's not.
Better:
"I know. This is very difficult on all of us right now."
