So then I asked her how her visit with her mom was.
She said good, but that her mom was still having a difficult time.
I responded that I was still thinking of them which abruptly ended the convo.
You weren't listening to what she was saying. You didn't validate her feelings.
A better response would have been:
I can't image how she feels, it must be hard though.
I had a different take, but you might be right, Gr8. My thought was that Country is coming across -- to his wife (not saying this is his intent) -- as somewhat "holier-than-thou," which is a common thing that BS/LBS/piecing spouses have to fight. Especially as it relates to her family, I think his wife may -- although she is appreciative -- view his good deeds as completely overwhelming and SMOTHERING, and she can't possibly keep up with his glowing image with her own family.
