I thought over the past 10-12 months I attempted to make 180s on things she wanted me to work on. But then she brought this up. Feels like it’s that I ‘always’ do this or I ‘never’ do that. That she doesn’t see (or doesn’t care to see) any sort of positive changes that I’ve made.
I’ve really F’ed this up, haven’t I, A/S?
No dude, you haven't f'd it up at all. The always and never thing is pretty common in this situations, the wayward spouses often use absolutes in conversation. Another think that is quite common, but still amazes me is, the ability to rewrite history to the point that the LBS starts questioning his/her own sanity.
And again, you have not fcuked it up, pick yourself up, dust yourself off and onwards and forwards.
