Dear Eric: My spouse is unable to say “Oops, sorry.” He automatically denies having done the thing or blames me or my son – even if he literally just did it in front of me/us.
It’s been an issue for decades. We first went to counseling because he left a shower head pointing at a weird angle, so water got all over the wall and floor when I turned on the shower. He saw me mopping up and asked why, and I matter-of-factly told him he’d left the shower head pointing out of the shower. I expected a “Whoops! Sorry about that.” (Which would have resolved everything instantly.)
