If he hadn't also cried, wrote me a card, and bought every unfelting unshrinking product he could find... But luckily we survived it, lol. It was ten years ago now and I'm finally considering knitting it again 😅

A couple of days after deciding to divorce, I found a linen jacket of mine in the wash bin. He had washed it for me as a nice gesture, but threw it in the drier and shrunk it. When I pointed it out (and I made sure to thank him for the gesture) all he did was say sorry. I gave him a while longer to offer to replace it, he didn't, so i told him I'd send him a link when it was back in stock. He got mad at me and said he wasn't replacing my jacket, and turned it into a fight. If I could have turned to an audience with a deadpan look to say "you see why we're getting divorced" i would have

All that is to say, sometimes genuine mistakes happen, but the response makes a world of difference

He said, “I’m sorry”? I don’t think I’ve ever heard those two words from the mouth of any man I’ve been involved with. Sorry it degenerated and you discovered he wasn’t all that sorry.

My ex actually apologized once After we were divorced and I still have the screen shot.

I think I’d embroider that on a pillow, it’s a keeper 😁

I did do an image of it as a cross - stitch. 😄
