Hey GGG(G)! I know what you mean with them forgetting all the spew of "reasons" we are the devil and the cause for all suffering in the world! I was accused of all sorts of nefarious things that had NEVER crossed my mind, only to be dropped and replaced with "I can't stand the way you chew your food...it bothers me". I will tell you I became a different person with my W after her depression. I became much more "passive" and tried to let her make many more decisions than before only because I never knew how she would react. Sometimes we become the type of person who our S tells us they want, whether that is truly what they want or not!
I try to stay far away from the greeting card aisle myself. I got my W a card on her birthday last week and some of those Hallmark moment cards were brutal! Always good to think of all that you have to be grateful for. So, easy to let our rotten sitchs with our S's color our thoughts of what we DON'T have!
