Thanks, LITB. I am busy on trying to address those areas I need to improve on (drinking less, criticizing less, being a calmer, more chill person, letting things go). One of trickier issues leading to this problem was lack of attention to W. Complaints re (a) failure to plan/initiate trips, vacations, surprises and (b) failure to show affection whether - both intangible and tangible sort. Justified (although W oblivious to other contributions like running/maintaining household/domicile). However how do you pull a 180 on that sort of thing when W carrying on A?
Also, I hear you on revisionist point - I'm listening to W's BS thinking what world were you living on when these events transpired (Bizzaroworld, no doubt).
