I think I blame my H, and I need to refocus my energy and quit being such a B to him  We are best friends, so I just need to remember that we can calmly discuss things instead of threatening to throw the cat or dog out if you walk out of this house and leave. It's so messed up at times. |
Cool. It is important not to determine the level of your relationship by the most relationally challenged person. If you are less good at apologies than your h, then he needs to take the lead here. And an apology that feels condescending to the recipient is not a real apology, it is an explanation at best.
