I'll have to strip this down to a minimum. This week has been tough on me. My partner has a lot on her plate. Me not so much. I'm as present and supportive as possible and I show as much patience and empathy as I can. But this week she has made me feel like I shouldn't exist on several occasions. I don't even think she realised. I take great care of her and she manages to criticise my cooking. And afterwards she'll thank me for cooking (cause otherwise she would not eat). She managed to criticise me wanting to help because I don't do it the right way. She says "I know you" then adds something untrue about myself and won't let me contradict her. Says I'm untidy...but always leaves something behind. She always just KNOWS BETTER and I feel unimportant. Unheard. Unseen. It hurts so much.
