Things have been really great between us over the last couple of months. He's also been very supportive of me through the recent loss of my father over the last several days.
However, today, he made it all about him and his issues, on Father's Day when I just lost my father only a few days ago. His brother lost their cat, or their cat escaped somehow, and my husband was so distraught that it became the focal point of our day today (Father's Day). I got so upset that he couldn't just focus on me and what's been happening, that I said I was going to go to my sister's house (alone) with my mother. Well, my mother didn't reply to my text, so I didn't go. But I am super irked by this with my husband. Now he's napping and I am downstairs, alone, dealing with it on my own. Doesn't he realize how hard today really is for me? Doesn't he know he should be by my side, comforting me? Apparently not, since he made it about HIM.
I could be overreacting. I mean, the cat will likely die or be killed in the wild, and that's what my husband is upset about. He's also worried about the repercussions for his mother who lives with his brother, because it was likely she who accidentally let the cat get out. So, I DO get it, but I am hurting and need comforting, and today, I am not getting it so much.
