Oh, and he tortured me with holidays by never understanding what to do or just doing something for me. This was also a chronic misunderstanding that was off the tracks. But, he has gotten better this year. All I had asked was the most simple expectation from him, but he habitually disappointed. Then he would go far out of his way to do something special, like a really nice, unique gift this one year or two. So, this was a source of struggle with us, too. It wasn’t me being a demanding person impossible to please. It was him just not simply doing the expected actions, the typical, nice, normally done actions.

And this struggle, holidays, also caused me the crying meltdowns.
