It seems as if all I do is apologize. It's as though what I say is always wrong, but everything she says is fine fine fine. Mainly because I don't make note of every time she says something that hurts me, but she seems to remember every time I say something to her that she takes offense to.
And she remembers it, and holds on to it, for just the right time to throw it back in my face.
I don't think she does this maliciously, but I also don't think she realizes how those things play over and over in my mind, reinforcing my core beliefs about myself, reinforcing what I grew up hearing from my father.
I guess it is my problem. I guess I am a know-it-all. Certainly enough people have told me so.
So, as I usually do, I will try to vow to keep my mouth shut and my opinions to myself if there is any chance that those things might offend someone.
Because we wouldn't want that.
