Dear Marina,
I'm sorry about having to take away your pacifier in a "cold turkey" kind of way. I realize that I have taken away your comfort and gateway to sleep.
But perhaps you should be apologizing to me for waking me up every hour, every night to put it back in. If you would have just let it lie, perhaps we could have avoided this unpleasant situation.
In an act of attempted solidarity, I can give up something too, so you won't resent me. From this day forward, no matter where I am, I will no longer sleep with pants on. I hope this helps our relationship a little bit.
Love,
your sleep-deprived mother and partner in suffering
