we went to bed angry...next morning, he leaned over, hugged me and asked "still angry?



This is something that has long been a problem in my M too, even when things were "good." My H and I could have a screaming argument and one of us end up sleeping on the couch but in the morning he would make me tea like he always does and act as if nothing happened.

While it's good that we would move on and not dwell on the problem, it made me resent him. I always felt like he was brushing aside the things that bothered me. I don't expect a resolution to every problem. But, I do expect him to acknowledge that there was a problem, that I had a right to be upset, and that at the very least we will accept that it may be something that does not have a solution.

I suppose the thing we need to learn is to truly let go of the things that are not important. There's probably a lot of wisdom in learning to pick our battles so as not to become the W who cried wolf.
