    Sometimes there is a disconnect between what your brain wants to do and what it does. Just requires a little understanding. It’s not like your husband can explain it either. The brain is complicated.

    Another example: sleep paralysis. It’s very weird but years ago I experienced it. I woke up but couldn’t move. Very scary and strange, but not that uncommon.

          I’m not really sure what your problem with me is, but I bet I’ve been married longer than you have, and it’s 100% okay to frustrate each other sometimes and then laugh about it later. It’s also okay to admit you can’t perfectly relate to something your partner experiences, and it is going to happen unless you somehow managed to marry yourself.

          My best guess is that I remind you of someone who wasn’t patient with you in a really devastating way, causing all of this projection, and I’m genuinely sorry that happened to you. But you don’t actually know me, and you couldn’t possibly know what I’m like based on a couple of silly comments online.

            What happens is when people get told they’re weird because of the way they are, it hurts. Yeah that’s happened to me many times and it sucks a lot. Fortunately my current partner is pretty understanding.

              Like I said sorry that happened to you and I hope you’ll have a lot of success in your relationship

                You come off as not understanding that you’ve hurt your husband’s feelings and I can relate to that “why can’t you just [insert thing I can’t help]?”. In this thread lots of people are relating to that kinda thing so it was kinda jarring to see the opposite.

                  My husband’s feelings aren’t hurt, though? The person I replied to also didn’t really relate to the meme so it’s not just me. I seem to be the only person catching shit for it, though 😐

                    not understanding

                    Yeah sometimes people with issues get hurt and it goes unnoticed. It’s a struggle for some of us. Anyhow, sorry you think I’m singling you out. I have no reason to do that other than what felt like a very submissive tone. When I tried to explain what it might be like for others, your response felt dismissive again /shrug
