Don’t apologise to me! Why are you always apologising?

What you did is what 99.9% of people would do, and is a normal, reasonable and apparently logical way to respond.

It’s just that you can’t be reasonable, normal or logical with a wayward/walk away spouse.

You are learning really fast. There’s always going to be small slip ups here and there.

And remember - if you spend less time around him, scientifically, there will be less chance of slip ups 🧐 Something to think about, and why we never encourage talks or interactions or spending time together.

Perhaps next time you forget to DB and forget to validate, maybe rather than come here and say sorry, you could think to yourself “oh well, I slipped up, but this one thing is not going to make or break our marriage. I’m DBing better than 90% of people, so actually I’m going really well 😎”

Look forwards, not backwards.
