I texted a friend and when she was able... (which unfortuneately was not till aftet the water ice place closed) we went to get ice cream.
Although I guessed that my point didnt come across because I sounded all complaining and sympathy seeking... when really it wasn't my intention which made me realize that I do it without intending...

I am sorry if something I said caused you to get that impression. I was expressing that my experience has been different: that the other person can learn new behaviors and can train their thoughts because I have been trying to do it for my H and he is trying for me. If the other person is totally unwilling to try, then that's different. I am sorry if I hurt you.
