My partner of ten years told their family about our fight before telling me it upset them.

Side A (age 38)

I heard about my own argument secondhand from a sibling. My partner of ten years had described it to four people in New York before ever saying to my face that it hurt them. I can't fix something I'm the last to hear about.

Side B (age 47)

Every time I raise something directly it turns into a debate I lose. So I talked to people who know me. That isn't a betrayal, that's what happens when the direct route stops working.
