Man Oh Man.......... Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband) Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband)

My husband got me so riled tonight that I unleashed a full force of anger up on his hairy ***** and my inner anger just needed to be set free once and for all that I used the "F" word when expressing how I was feeling at that moment.

And while saying the "F" word has been far removed from my vocabulary for the last twenty years - I felt a sense of relief after my 1 1/2 minute of anger was over and thru....... wiping brow.

Now - to face tomorrow.

Yeah - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband)

and if you talk to him he will say it was my fault - but if you talk to me I will that he never listens to me and he always thinks he knows what I am thinking and why I am doing something, therefore, he gets angry / upset with me when he should not - so I say it is his fault.

*BIG SIGH* - Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband)

My favorite word!!! Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband)

I'm sorry that you're so frustrated with him...he sounds pretty stubborn. I think that's one of the hardest traits to deal with!

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr (husband)

Try to hang in there.

It's not healthy to hold your feelings inside. And your husband isnt being a good husband by not listening to what your needs are.

I had a blow-up earlier this week. I think I would be OK with it, if when I finally blow I could limit the collateral damage. He had me so angry that I not only unloaded on him but then got angry with my kids. Luckily, I quickly caught myself and immediately stopped and apologized. I still felt like crap because apologizing is not enough.

Yes, at times they can be, but then at others times they can be so loving and considerate of another...... why can't I have more of the other times - just joking...... I do get others times just not enough for my liking.

Ok - some one help me and hide the rolling pin before I beat my husband with it........ and while I know my husband has his good points / side - I have to say I have not seen much of it lately and all I hear from his mouth any more comes off as Me Me Me.... and that is getting old.

The Story

Last night I asked hubby to go grocery shopping with me since it was the weekend and I did not feel to well.... he said yes with no problem or argument (probably because he was still trying to make up from the event that started this thread in the first place) - but never the less I took his help.

When we got to the grocery store all was going well until we got to the cheese section and I picked up Velveeta sliced cheese - Then BAM! - hubby had a cow and did not want me to get that brand of cheese because HE LIKES KRAFT..... I said well I like Velveeta Brand - words were exchanged and it ended with me saying "I don't want to hear it because you have been eating that brand of cheese for the last four months or so and you did not even know it" so lay off...... hubby replies: but now that I know I don't like it - I just walk off to the baby section to get to some food for my gliders and hubby followed...... and the Velveeta cheese stayed in the chart - nothing else was said about the cheese.

And - he got huffy in bed in the middle of the night and stole my covers - lol - just had to add that part.
I think I will bring my own covers to bed tonight, as I hate to be cold.

* * * * * * * *

Now tell me this........ WHY is it all about HIM these days (well, more than usual) as I still live in the house with him and so does our youngest son - what about the US? - the family of three.

Maybe the MEN can help with the this one....... Why he is being so darn stubborn, mean, selfish and honorary? Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

Can you imagine Rhapsody...

You and your husband having this "discussion" while a very hungry child would be listening...

A greatful heart simply can't get angry...

I know little things can get frustrating...but be gratefull that they are little things...

IMHO..

Hm, is it possible it was not really about the cheese? I am very passionate about cheese myself, but if it's such an issue maybe you should just buy both, the Velveeta and the Kraft.
And while you're flinging both into the cart just ask, 'honey, what are you really miffed about?'. Just because he's behaving like a 5 year old does not mean you have to!

Oh trust me - I know it was NOT about the cheese...... and yet he is one stubborn man and he will not share as deeply as he might need to in order to let it all out.

Why are some people like this? - *sigh*

Ah Rhapsody....the gift of acceptance...we have such little power to change anyone except ourselves...and that is an uphill struggle...

My program says.."Surrender to win"...sounds nuts but it often works...

Hope you world settles down...

OK - I would like a little feed back on this...... any advice, suggestion, ideal.

Why does it seem like hubby and I get along better after we have had a fight and we have not had sex since the fight?

Any other wife / girl friend go through this same thing with their man?

Well, sex is one of the areas of power struggles, so you are avoiding both. You blew off some steam and lessened the pressure. Until you learn to change the way you interact, it's just a matter of time.

Let me phase it better.........

Why is it that my husband and I get along better when we have not had (are not having sex) sex? - after a fight.

That is the real question.
