I love my partner. She’s the strongest person I know. For whatever reason, I find myself unable to instinctively think of doing things for her. This follows a pattern, that she’s called out, where I seem to prioritize myself and my own wants/needs. It’s usually little stuff like quickly using the bathroom first on my way to get her something and always needing to be asked to do something rather than just recognizing something that needs to be done and doing it.
E.G. She’s currently home for parental leave with our second and I work from home. I like to make eggs for lunch and two days in a row I don’t think to offer to make her some while I make mine. She’s brought this up each time. It’s not that I can’t or wouldn’t want to do that for her. I just don’t think to ask her if she would like me two.
I know I’m not the only one who’s been guilty of this. What techniques has everyone used to fix this?
