Plans changing or being shown something I forgot/didn’t realize I was supposed to do can make me just not want to do anything for the rest of the day. Even stuff that makes me happy like watching movies or going for a walk in the park just seems like these monsterous tasks I can’t handle afterwards.
Same. And my (now ex-) wife knew that, and toward the end of our relationship, it seems like she would make the most intricate plans just to completely change them at the last moment.
There was one day we had a plan to take the kids to meet her brothers at a sandwich shop down the street that we often went to - we were going separate ways afterwards so we took different cars, I went down the street and waited… And waited… And called her, she said she had gotten hung up getting something for one of the kids, but she was almost there… Waited another couple minutes (the place was literally 2 minutes away from the house) still no sign of her or her brothers so I called again… She said she was turning on x street- 3 miles away! Long story short (too late) she had changed the plan and we were going to the mall, and supposedly she told me that, but I sure as hell didn’t remember that… And as it turned out, where she was going afterwards was to meet her affair partner, but I didn’t know that then…
