Broken Promises
Permalink  
 


OK, so I have come to realize that I make promises that I don't follow through with.

It could be something very simple.  It seems like when my husband ask's me to do something, I automatically say "yes" because I feel scared of letting him down.  Like "no" is not an option, well the problem is that I don't remember what I promised.  I agree to do something because it seems easier to say 'yes' than 'no'.  So a few day's later he ask's me if I was able to do such and such and I respond like "I don't remember you asking me to do that"  Is this just me?  Any insight's would be appreciated. 

trying to figure myself out, Moon

Hmmm....interesting....

Um....What was the question, again? :)

The things that come to mind, with this one are..

Selective hearing..

The over 40... Sometimers stage...

The fact that I have 2 brain cells left...and the odd time, one goes for a walk...

Used to be a big people pleaser....and say yes to everyone...

Then....I would do the same thing..."Forget"

Took a long time to learn to say "no"..and put moi first...

Can still get so busy...that I hafta write everything down...

Some things get better...some don't....

Unfortunately I can relate. I am a newcomer to this website. I just signed up 5 minutes ago. I too have made multiple broken promises to my husband. I guess in part that is why I signed up for this. I hate to consistently disappoint him, so I automatically say yes.

Hey Desperate smile

Welcome, I am new myself.  I hope to learn a little and expand my mind on this whole disease of alcholism.  I understand it's a disease, but other than that, I don't know that much about it.  Hope to see you around more!

Thanks Phil,

It's good to have people around who have lots of time in the program.  wink
