I have been apologising to the cat. You are totally right, my partner did really say, I'm getting a cat from the shelter, hope you're ok with that!"

I adore cats, I've always had them growing up and this cat is so sweet. Insane but sweet. But we really can't afford her, and the people we are renting the house from don't know we have her.

I'm really bad at saying no. I managed to talk to my partner last night about other problems I thought we were having, things i needed from her, and, would you believe it? I was the one who ended up apologising! Not AGAIN!!!!

I have to learn to be firm without coming off as a whining nag. It's very hard.
