sammiealice's blog post - husbands grrrr

hubby is mad at me. he forgot to do something he promised a co-workers child (child lives with her mother out of state). and the child was suppose to have it as a class assignment today. so we have to fedex it tonight. i say to him, "let go, send it and get dinner out". "no, i am hungry, lets eat here now". so we eat. i say "i am finished, lets go". "no, i want some dessert first". so finally we leave, get to the fedex store at 7:29 and the sign says, "last drop off at 7:30. so we in, he goes to do the paper work and i go to counter and ask "is it to late", answer "no, you have 30 seconds". so i look at him, slowly putting the package together, ask where there is a later drop off, resign my self to a 30 mile drive and wander around the store for the next 20 minutes while he finishes the paper work. when he is finished, i say to him, let go out to the car. and he is mad at me because i did not say to him "hun, we got here to late for the drop off and we will just have to go somewhere else", sweetly and nicely and in a very quite voice. what i wanted to say was "hun, your late, we have to drive 30 extra miles (60 round trip) because when i told you we needed to go you want to eat dinner and then dessert. and now the food shopping we were going to do this evening can not be done."

i love him dearly but this is just the way he is and he is never going to change and i know it but it is really beginning to bother me.

xxx to all
