!Bad wife --- agk's diary 12 November 2022 @ 11:35 UTC --- written on iPad after an all-nighter --- I submitted draft final Synthesis paper 6 hrs late. Evy & I, who rarely quarrel, had a bad conflict last night. My bad management of this stupid nursing pro- gram stress made me a shit wife. I'm ashamed. When she was more vulnerable than I knew I made a joke she understood to confirm her fears. Once said, I can't unsay those words. They're in her mind now. I'll pray and ask my sponsor what can mend. How do I show her my anhedonia'll end soon, marriage won't stay lonely? I'm afraid I broke something permanent, essential to our marriage. Bad coping & marital stress made me a bad student, but fuck school. It's Evy, Evy, Evy I love.
