Please don't take me for granted...

I never anticipated such a violent reaction- especially after 20 years of blissful togetherness. 

We do have to take into account we live in very close quarters, subsequently time together is compounded faster than in most [pre-pandemic] relationships. 

And since we each have our own responsibilities— which are often reduced to daily grinds— it is understandably easy for interdependencies to form. 

I am consequently reminded how easy it is to start taking you for granted.  I'm sorry.

Hopefully this is just an example of how daily routines can get out of hand if you don't pay attention to each other— causing eruptions when you are least prepared…

In the aftermath, I like to think we aired our mutual grievances while I cleaned up the mess, and hope everything is once again back to normal… 

I promise not to take you for granted ever again...

















Never take an inanimate object for granted either...
