Monday
Your partner apologizes for hurting you, then says 'but you know I only act like this because of how you make me feel.' You end up comforting them.
Wednesday
Someone is consistently 20-30 minutes late to every plan. When you mention it, they say 'You know I've been going through a lot. I thought you understood.'
Thursday
Your parent calls you selfish every time you prioritize your own needs. You've started automatically saying yes to avoid the label.
Friday
A new partner wants to know where you are at all times, gets upset when you see friends, and says 'I just love you so much I can't stand being away from you.'
Saturday
After every disagreement your friend gives you the silent treatment for days. When you reach out and apologize — even unsure what you did — they warm up immediately.
Sunday
Your manager praises you publicly but undermines your work privately to others. When you notice, they say 'I'm your biggest supporter — I don't know where you're getting this.'
