ITA. My husband has been atypically thoughtless twice in the past few days (not drinking related) and I got upset in my head but talked myself down. Because in the 8 years he's endured my alcoholism... I was nothing but thoughtless, 90% of the time. So now suddenly I'm giving 110% and I expect him to snap to it? Not fair, IMO.

I know your situation is different but somewhat comparable, I think. In the early days of recovery when we're so uber-focused on things. It's kind of hard to keep perspective, I think.
