Why does he blame me for stuff I didn’t do?
so last night we were supposed to have dinner with my sister and her kids — family means a lot to me, you know, especially since we’re trying to keep things together after mama passed. anyway, i was running late cause the train got delayed, not even 15 minutes, but when i got there, james was fuming. said i “always do this” and “don’t respect his time” — but i didn’t even do anything wrong. i tried to explain and he just cut me off, said i’m too sensitive and need to “chill with the defensiveness.” that’s the thing — he does this all the time. if his day sucked, he acts like i caused it. if he misplaces his keys, somehow it’s on me. and when i get upset, he turns it around like i’m the problem for feeling hurt. my momma raised me to work on things, but this feels different. like no matter what i do, i’m the villain. my cousin said maybe it’s gaslighting, but i don’t even know. just feel lonely in this relationship. like i can’t breathe without him blaming me for the air. what do i do when the person supposed to love you treats you like the enemy?
