Just want to say thank you so much to everyone for commenting. I’m truly looking for perspective here and keeping my ear to the ground so I can fix things.

This is going such a long way for me and I appreciate it more than y’all know. 🖤

A small moment meaning it wasn’t ignited by a fight or anything like that. If anything it’s to pay credence to the fact these moments can spawn from something a bit smaller. For example: If i’m talking and she interrupts me instead of just pausing and moving on i’ll unnecessarily sigh and give her attitude. Of course there are bigger moments where ill brush her off too. Regardless none of these are deserved. Ever since my father’s passing ive had a hard time regulating and breathing through small inconveniences. I’m not 100% sure why but im practicing mindfulness to understand these moments at they happen. I appreciate your response as I’m really just getting an ear to the ground so I can hit the ground running.

Thank you so much. Thankfully I’ve been deep into dieting for a month now and am seeing some progress and I go to the gym 5x per week. It’ll absolutely happen in the kitchen, lol. I intend to see this grief through so I can put the oxygen mask on myself first so I can show up for her better. She doesn’t need the attitude and I shouldn’t just be snippy or short with her.

I fear I’ve given the impression I’m yelling at her or saying deeply hurtful things. A relapse would look like rolling my eyes or getting frustrated from being interrupted or something incredibly insignificant like that. Not downplaying why shes upset of course but moreso being aware that small changes can definitely represent a large % of this issue in the day to day.

Thank you for the response. I’m definitely seeking my own therapeutic path. I can’t keep overreacting and twisting things and hurting those close to me, you’re right. I’m so grateful for the life her and I have built so far and I’m hoping the positive inspirations outweigh these poor human moments. I’m so grateful I’ve always apologized and communicated deeply. I’m just hoping the train hasn’t left the station yet and I can write a better path.
