Homegrrl was opining about me and my failure to make her life teh fluffeh

For what it's worth, I've used this turn of phrase with several gents since you made it, and they all agree that it has weight-bearing qualities.

"I'm not happy and it's your fault." Really, now, can this condition be overcome, ever? Ever ever?

and is actively investigating finding a marriage counselor

I did that for a while with the ex. Useless. Every session caused us to fight for an hour afterwards. She was generally unsatisfied when something was not considered my fault. I cannot see how couples therapy has any benefit to anyone except the person getting paid.

I suspect this will take a while.

Rip it off like a band-aid.
