Was feeling mopey today packing etc until I realized my H took my expensive osprey bag without asking me. When I went to confront him about it he just repeatedly denies that he has it. I’m fairly certain that he doesn’t because he frequently takes my things without asking and then denies it until I catch him with it. All he has to do is ask and I wouldn’t care.
BUT I’m working on my 180s here. I almost felt my typical reaction coming up, which is usually something snide and passive aggressive. Something my husband said he didn’t like about me, which I understand. I would hate it too if someone talked to me the way I talk to my H sometimes. Instead I just said “well maybe you could check again if you get a chance, I really need it. “
What a surprise, he was pleasant when I was pleasant. He even told me he’d take me up to camp to get the rest of my fishing gear. He kept telling me he wouldn’t take me so there’s some improvement there.
