I asked because this is a bone of contention in my marriage. My husband gets mad at me because I almost never will promise something. Instead I say "I will try my best or barring any unfortunate circumstances out of my control I will take care of/ do X." He can't even say he's going to go to bed without saying I promise. Everything is a promise and he's kept maybe 4 in the 5 years we've been together. He gets mad at me because I don't trust/believe him anymore and he says I don't care enough about him to even make a promise to him. IF you say it then do it. That's just my opinion. But if I think that there's even a remote chance that I will not be able to follow through I won't promise. If I promise then even if it meant certain death I'd do it. I realize that's probably crazy to most people but I got so tired of lies when I was growing up....lies and broken promises. Same thing to me

Thank you to all that took the time to vote and reply.
