When life hands you lemons add alcohol and stir!

Also, if I were him, I would have been rolling my eyes at your egg-shell-walking apologizing-for-things-beyond-control molly-coddling of me, FWIW.

Ok, so I'm molly-coddling because I was genuinely mortified that the one week I asked him to go with me happens to be the start of a series about marriage? I was so humiliated. I wouldn't want him to think I purposely did that so why shouldn't I apologize? It's not like I was apologizing for the subject matter, only that I didn't know. I'm confused, please explain.

Egg-shell walking? Well, yes. I've admitted as much. There is not a moment of a day that I'm not scared of saying or doing something that will set him off. There is not a night that that he is 30 minutes late coming back that I immediately think he's off with some woman. It's a torturous existence but one that I am creating all on my own. At least I'm aware of that. That's an improvement at least.

I don't give him credit but that would require trust. He hasn't done anything to really earn it but he also hasn't been trying to. He doesn't have any reason to. I'm the landlady.

Mish, you need to get a bit more optimistic my dear...

Optimisim is not my strong suit!!! There is not much to be optimistic about but I'll see what I can do about that.

I don't have chains but I do have the water and blankets and some snacks in the car. Scary stuff!!!! LOL
