Thanks, Rob. I'm definitely with the "vent it" view, and only try to limit my whining so that I don't put people off. I'm pretty angry at her about her recent behavior, but I've got no one to blame but myself. I let her in this far and trusted her to understand what she clearly doesn't.
She got upset at me because I spent a couple of hours this last weekend with my son, mom, and cousins -- last time we'll be together in a year -- and I didn't call her as soon as I said I would. When she texted her unhappiness, I stopped what I was doing and immediately called her, but she made her displeasure clear, and so I told her I wouldn't apologize under the circumstances.
I've tried a hell of a lot to meet her halfway with her criticisms of me, but I'll be goddamned if I apologize for spending a couple of hours with family I'm not going to see again for a long while.
We had a long text-argument tonight, and I know for a fact that we're done. Shit happens. I'll be more careful next time, and more skeptical.
