Okay, question....my W keeps making small jabs at things she has blown out of proportion. I've tended to be critcal of small things through the 9 years of items around the house I don't like. Pictures on the walls that seem ill placed, decorations I'm not fond of, etc... So she made mention today of coming to pickup some stuff on Tuesday like this stand up mirror in the bedroom. I don't mind that she is getting these things but she took the time to say 'that mirror you always hated'. I don't hate the mirror. I made several comments about it years ago when it took up a lot of room when we had an apartment and when we first moved into our house but nothing since. I think she is just dragging up anything negative I have ever said.
I want to say something about not remembering the worst things about me and clarify but thats wrong isn't it? I hate this... it feels like she just keeps dragging out the worst things and making me into a continuously larger monster. I want to say something but I'm afraid it will turn into nothing but counter points arguement.
What is safe to say? "That mirror kinda grew on me, I'll be sad to see it go?" Or maybe "I'm glad you kept that mirror" Or am I just better off saying nothing?
