It just keeps getting better

After the nightmare of dh choosing to sit at the kids' table over Thanksgiving and completely ignoring his family and friends that I spent 2 days cooking for, he spent Friday not speaking to me. At all. Not one word. We had a good game of "I am mad at you because you are mad at me" going. It went as far as him sleeping on the couch Friday night. Then Saturday he approaches me in the kitchen (while I am knee deep in Christmas decor) and kisses me. So silly me, I think I am going to get an apology. I am so damn sick of being second to his horrible child. But then he looks at me and says "do you like it when I sleep on the couch?" you know, kind of when he says to his son "do you like getting put in time out" I am sorry was that supposed to be my punishment for me being mad that he disrespected me and acted like an idiot on Thanksgiving? Then yesterday I cooked a pot roast. We sat down to eat and he chose not to eat the roast because "I don't trust you. It could be pork" (he does not eat pork because he saw a stupid video on UTube about pork. Yet I have NEVER cooked pork because I know he does not want to ever eat it. And when I plan meals I plan them for his enjoyment. Then he could not understand why I was mad. Then when I tried to talk to him about the massive disrespect, he said I don't care about his feelings and I am mean to his kid. Um...I did not realize we were fighting about his disrespectful bratty kid that I have done nothing but good things for.

that was m first question. And I asked everyone at the table and they all agreed it was beef. He was just being an idiot.

I am actually very controlling about the house and manners. This is because I have 3 children that I want to learn how to properly behave and they are teenagers so this can be quite difficult at times. I insist on respect, manners, empathy, and kindness. As he has a child, his child gets treated the same way. He cannot seem to get on board. Well sometimes he does. But in this case, we literally fought about how he thinks I might trick him into eating pork. Which really is not my style. I am not much of a trickster.

My DH slept on the couch last night to punish me. Do they honestly think we are so disparate that we can't stand to be alone for one night? Hell, it's a vacation. No snoring. No getting woke up. And if they are actually thinking we can't go without sex for a night, well they are not all that. Hell, my DH is away during the week every week, so what's one more night. After two and a half years of this, it's more uncomfortable when he's there.

I LOVE having the whole of the bed to myself. I can spread out and enjoy it all to myself. I also have the time and privacy for some self-loving, all of the pleasure for me and I don't have to worry about anyone else. Wink

LOL I said "oh you can sleep on the couch every night if you want. Notice I did not come begging for you" He seemed quite offended...

Don't you love their apologies.

I got a great "apology" the other day. BF got mad because I asked him to start with all the F bombs when he comes by my office. Turned into a huge fight and him telling me he could find someone better (Good Luck). Anyway, later that night he apologies for saying that, "I'm sorry I said I could find someone better, but you were being an asshole." Nice apology. Then wondered why I was still mad. Men are insane babies.

These men "siding" with their useless brats, it kills me. They get loyalty so wrong, what a good parent does to show to his kids what loyalty is to treat their partner with loyalty, dignity and respect.

LOL 39. Yes 39. But there is a UTube video of someone pouring soda on a pork chop and a parasite coming out. Therefore he won't eat pork. Yet he will eat bacon....
