Thanks. That's what I thought. I hear so many "reasons" of why this or that, instead of meeting me with understanding and validation, that it just starts to sound like excuses to me.
I know that people are going to disagree and are not always going to see things the same way, however, I think that there is something wrong when just about all times he has his "reasons" to explain why he acted insensitive, which tends to be what I struggle with with him. I feel that he is very insensitive to me and my needs and I get ran over anytime I try to put my need out there. So it's these moments that I get his "reasons" as to why he didn't do something that I thought he should have when it comes to supporting me. I try to tell him that somethings wrong if he is always on a different page than me etc. but he just says that he just sees things different. I get that, but come on... this often. I may very well be wrong and that's why I decided to write here, but it just feels selfish to me. It feels like he supports me as long as it doesn't get in the way of his needs. I try to explain this to him and how this has always made me feel to no avail. It somehow gets twisted and thrown back on me.
