All good advice, as expected. I especially liked the ssm-newbie Lettie's words of advice about W being a bitchy bully. How many times have I told my kids that the bullies at school insult them because they are jealous or angry or have inferiority complexes? Because the insult is intended to make the bully feel better about themselves.
I don't even really care if my W does, indeed, feel as if I do things "half-assed" sometimes. What does telling me this "feeling" accomplish? It makes me feel bad. Why would someone who says she loves me do this? It makes no logical sense. (I left a wide opening for you, Scott1701).
Keep it coming, friends. I really needed the vent, and am appreciating the comments.
