So, today my wife sends me a text message to say she payed her insurance and paid the car payment. She also wnated me to know they have her banking information. I was very short with "thanks for taking care of your business." She asked me if there was anything I wanted to talk to her about. I told her
me: "no, just that i was sorry it had come to this. if she only knew."
her: if i only knew what?
me: that we have come to this stage of our lives and have fu@#$# things up so badly. I'm sorry for my contributions to this mess
Her: wow!!!!!!??
me: what does wow mean?
Her: i am shocked your accepting responsibility for your part in this.
me: w I'm not perfect, i know that, but nothing I have done warranted this being done to me.
her: your right
me: Bye, have a good day.
So not sure if it meant anything, but it was nice to have that conversation with out flipping out. I was able to do that and still get the message across. I feel that it was a positive interaction, and I maintained control of myself and my emotions.
