Have you ever just lost your temper with them over the smallest thing?
My narc husband and I are in one of our periods where we are getting along very well. He called me today while he knew I was at my computer getting some work done. He didn’t ask if I had a minute or if I could do something for him, he just starts rattling off something he wants me to do on my computer. This is very common of him and I really wasn’t irritated at first.
Then as I’m trying to do the 1st task, he starts telling me to look up something online that he wanted me to see. I try to tell him that I’m still trying to do the first thing and he takes kind of irritated tone and tells me he can’t hear me and tells me that I am turning away from the from phone. I am literally trying to type with both hands while the phone rests on my shoulder. I’m not turning away.
I don’t know what about him saying that to me flipped a switch, but I completely lost my shit, told him that I was not turning away from the phone, and I was speaking directly into the fucking phone.
Now I feel bad that I acted like that but I did not try to apologize. My apologies are usually not well received by him.
I don’t even know where that came from. I’ve been thinking about it all day.
