So I’m honestly trying and different approach to either consider if I’ve been ‘too sensitive’; or as I’m pretty much seeing it had a needless dig lobbed at me.
There is a very emotive situation presently, and as my fiancée hadn’t mentioned whether she’d told her parents I asked (the question being posed in a message chat we were having
Me: Have you told your parents? Xx
Partner: Of course. I tell my parents everything love xx
Partner (right after the above): They are as usual happy to support me to do whatever is best for me xx
Being honest I’ve seen my arse because there’s no reason whatsoever to drop the ‘as usual they are’ lines in accept to imply that I don’t (which is hurtful and really ungrateful given I do more for her than the rest of her family combined and only ever like to get a thank you)
I then get a message about how her mum is worried about her health (which in 90% of cases I’m there to deal with, her finances, which I’m regularly sorting with the last being £1600 in non paid council tax to stop her being summoned all wrapped off with
Partner: She has asked me to add her number to Alexa to allow the boys to ping her if I get sick xx
I admit my response here isn’t productive, but I’m mad at this point
Me: Amazing. It’s almost like this hero response could have been done years ago and is just as achievable in about 4 different ways.
Glad the person who you said you wouldn’t be comfortable to look after your kids has stepped in at the 11th hour to receive your gratitude. I’ll draft some more notes about what I do for the other 23
Not a sterling response I know, but, going back to what kicked that off, is that me?
