I truly hate weekends !!! walking on pins and needles , "A" is hitching to find something to fight about !! How can anyone be that miserable , I hope work calls him today my coping as always been pick up and go, i go shopping, i go visit friends, today will go skidooing with my son.... why do i always have to leave because he's an " A" ... just not fair tired of crying months months months cry cry cry , i cry in silence in my room, put a smile on my face and do things with my son ...
Although I am no longer living with my A, when I sense he is trying (or disease is trying) to provoke an argument, some things I have found helpful to say are :' yes, I can see where you're coming from' or 'oh yeah, I can understand why you might say that'. I don't know if that;s helpful in your case but it has been a kind of gentle way to disarm a potential argument.
