I’m sure she’s not entirely happy. I’m sure if I read her version of this post, it’d be very painful to read, and probably do me a lot of good. I worry a lot about what I’ve contributed to our problems, and how I’ll do better next time.

She’s had complaints, and I’ve stopped a few annoying habits entirely. Others, not entirely. In terms of addressing the other person’s complaints, I’ve got a better record, and I’m capable of apologizing. But I’m sure as hell not ideal.

I ask her how she feels and I don’t get a coherent answer.

I’m not seeking validation. I’m confident in my understanding of the situation. I just have nobody I can talk to about this.
