What Pisses Me Off

So, after I went back and re-read the text message to me, I started to get a little pissed off. Here's why.

We were having an exchange via IM (as I noted earlier) and I had to go run an errand. I told her so and went out. Earlier that morning, I had scheduled an auto-posting of a social media update to my account which talked about my need to go exercise, because my stress level was at such a high point. Apparently, this is the place where she lost it and found she could no longer deal with me.

The part that really pisses me off is that it gives the distinct impression as though my problems with her are the sole source of stress in my life! That's not only wrong, it's a complete crock of shit.

It's the height of hubris. How dare she take that comment as being all about her. I sent her a note back and told her the equivalent without being nasty about it. Yes, it does play a role, but that's just a portion of what I'm dealing with. And, at this point, it's a way smaller portion than she is giving herself credit for.

Perhaps I have placed too much faith in or given her too much credit for what I thought our relationship was about.
