LB I see we continue to fight the same battle!

Did you thank her for the pizza coupons?!

bballer - Every adult on this planet is responsible for their own actions and their own emotional well-being. Don't take any unnecessary blame.

Common blaming phrases I hear from my W:

"You made me feel..." Nobody can make anyone feel anything
"You made me do..." Huh?
"I know you don't like to..." Mind-reading

Keep an ear out and you'll start to recognize your W's go-to blaming patterns. And you'll also recognize how they are all bait traps trying to get you sucked into pointless arguments.
