Something else just popped up that I'm uncertain of. I understand the importance of letting them "appologize" for whatever and whenever. I know that replying/responding to this gets in the way of something(?).
My wife pays the cable bill. A moth ago it got cut off and I don't have the money to pay the bill. W came home and the kids told her and she asked me why I didn't tell her. She paid the bill right away. She forgot and I felt torn about even telling her. She's stressed about money, she hates me, I fail to see where telling her she needs to fork out money is going to make me look any less of the source of her issues.
Today I was called by the phone company. Another bill she pays. This time I sent her a text ( can't call from work ) saying they called, but that I had put the last of my extra money into the electric bill.
Her reply - Its been taken care of. Sorry for bothering you.
I hate electronic media sometimes. I have no idea her presence of mind. It's bad enough she takes much of what I say as an attack and I find myself reading sarcasm in her texting me. In the recent past I would have replied that it's no big deal. I was just letting her know because I thought she would want to know. I'm sitting on this one. I don't see that there's anyway I could explain myself. She wasn't a happy camper yesterday so chances are her "Sorry for bothering you" is meant as a hot iron comment. Either way, I guess I should just let it go without me trying to clarify and maybe she can get some feel good moment for having said "sorry" as the last word.........
