"Aren't you just perfect now" (volume intentionally turned down)
I figured that out, and that I probably should have a better answer than "Thank you for recognizing that"..
Which, BTW, was the wrong answer : )
Had to laugh at this one. I've gotten used to hearing "Have at it" and "It's a F-ing show."
"You wanna do all the laundry. Then have at it."
"You wanna pay all the bills. Then have at it."
"You wanna do what I've done by myself for 20 years. Then have at it."
"You wanna deal with the boys fighting. Then have at it."
"You going to church. It's all a F-ing show."
"Staying around to talk to other people. What a F-ing show."
"You being all happy and smiling all the time. It's all a F-ing show."
"Doing the laundry and the dishes and the bills and acting like it doesn't bother you. It's all a F-ing show."
What great interactions! During these moments I have reassured her that I understand why she has reservations about believing me. I have also reassured her that in no way do I want to do all the housework, but it just needs to be done. I don't want to be perfect or a martyr (got that one too). I just don't want the house to fall apart and to be able to survive this mess by finding my true self in it all.
