I don’t know how you’re doing 1000 things in a day

I mean does she communicate on what it is that you’re doing wrong? If so, don’t do that. If not, ask her what it is and then don’t do it

I know I have brought up stuff to my boyfriend before that bothers me and he responds kinda similar at first he says well I’m doing everything else right, and I just have to remind him yes you are, you’re doing just fine. I’m not trying to discredit everything else you’ve done. Just letting you know my feelings because I’d rather address it than let it build into patterns or resentments

I don’t know your all’s exact scenario, but the way I look at it, if someone’s telling you they’re upset about one thing, that doesn’t diminish everything else you’ve done. It’s different if she’s saying stuff like “you never do anything right” because that’s mean and untrue. But if she’s bringing up a concern it usually means she cares enough about the relationship to voice her issues.

Like it’s not enough to do “everything else right” The default state is doing things right. The problem is wrong thing

It’s all about perspective also like you could be doing default things fine and right but if you’re doing something wrong everyday that still sounds like a problem, but also we have no idea what you’re talking about
