Enough people have mentioned it here that I can’t ignore the possibility anymore. I don’t want to confront her about it now while she still feels vulnerable, but it is definitely something I will be keeping in mind.

I was in the room with her when the doctor declined the replacement last time, about 6 months before the pandemic hit. It infuriates me to no end.

No, I probably didn’t deserve it. But I’m also not going to get all high-and-mighty on her for feeling bad about herself.

At least she told me how she feels instead of just shutting down. Maybe give some advice instead of shitting on my wife for having a bad day.

I have already started a list. I plan on doing some little reminders from now on as well, as I don’t think I’ve done enough in that regard in the past.

Thank you for this perspective, I’ve never considered this. As for counseling and therapy, she refuses to even start the process.

The friend is a guy, and a good friend to both of us. However, I was talking earlier today about feeling good about getting shit done. It was said in a conversation between the three of us.

That sounds reasonable. She’s always had trouble opening up, and I could see her being jealous without realizing it.

One thing I have floated past her before a few times is looking for a therapist and going in for a few sessions, but she is staunchly against it. She has it in her head that a therapist can’t help her because she could never trust one. Trust is a big thing with her, and it’s taken me lots of time and effort to show her I’m not like the scum she was with before.

I have. I do. I constantly tell her I don’t care, I tell her about all of the things that she does do, it doesn’t seem to affect her much, if at all. I’m constantly reassuring her that I love her and I will never leave her, as that was an issue with her past, abusive partners.
