So, I don't get the anger directed at me. This may be one of the toughest things to take - at least for this five minutes. My hurts rotate and go up and down - but for now, I don't understand the anger. On the one hand, I don't get a free pass when I screw up. But don't I get some leeway? And, it seems that the anger when I do screw up is greater than it should be. Why am I the one trying to keep my anger in check? Why am I the one making the greater (as I perceive it) effort. I have a LOT more to get over other than the fact that I came home from the grocery store with everything except the one thing I went to get.
If we are measuring responses, I am a lot more justified in being angry than she is. And yet, I'm the one in the proverbial doghouse.
I just want to be treated nicely. Don't I at least deserve that?
