He says it a little more passive-aggressively though: "I'm afraid of you". It makes me look like some sort of dom violence perpetrator.
Not sure what to make of these sorts of apologies. Is it just guilt-reduction on their part and makes no difference at all to their position?
Or is it evidence that they are finally doing some work to look inward and realising that we are not the 'problem'?
Trying not to mind-read, but I would love to hear from others about their experiences of spouses' apologies (don't want to hijack, though!).
Interesting NLW. My H is the same way. Says he is afraid of me. I always thought he was passive-aggressive too, so thanks for highlighting that as another action to put in that category.
My H also apology in the last explosion - having to do with finances. I appreciate it since they at least take stock, but ultimately, I need to see the long term action.
