I've been doing quite well the past couple of weeks and then tonight I took something that my husband said totally to heart. Dinner was not great. The fried potatoes and veggies were fine, but the steak I made was "really bad" in his words and there was NOT a hint of humor in the way he said it.
I mentioned that he might choose more gentle words like, "Well that entree was really not up to par for you" or something that acknowledged that I tried to make a tasty meal. He came back with, "You know you can't tolerate any criticism anyway..."
This really, really hurt me. I keep thinking that he's right and I'm wrong. He's okay and I'm not okay. Why can't I let the little things slide??? Tonight I'm feeling very down and hope the feeling of dread I now have goes away by tomorrow.
Thanks for listening...
