Is it only my husband who, in front of some friends, likes to show his ass and treat his me like I should be in the kitchen and not the group conversation by interrupting every sentence that comes out of my mouth to tell me that No, your wrong.
Because, seriously, how in the world would you know I was wrong if you have no idea what I was about to say?
I got so fed up with being interrupted and hearing No, your wrong for the hundredth time that I threw up my hands while exclaiming I am so done with you tonight and take Kyra upstairs for a shower. Our friends take a cue from the thick air (or maybe it was their own toddler throwing a tired tantrum) and head out while I'm in the bathroom with Kyra.
Jer comes to say he's sorry but he feels like it's my fault.
Whatever, eat my ass you prick.
After Kyra goes to bed he comes back and apologizes again.
Fine, I accept.
But then, because the jerk doesn't know how to accept proper fault these days he walks away saying But in my defense...
Really? In your defense? Can he not just say I'm sorry for waving my ass in the air for all to see while you sit there, gaped mouth, as I talk to you this way. I was a big fat jerk and I'm sorry. The end.
I usually wouldn't get so upset about stuff like this except he's been doing this for weeks now and its getting old. I even brought it to his attention not even 24 hours ago, asking him to not cut me off and talk to me like that. To that he replied that each month he has to meet his quota to do one thing a month to annoy me and this is what he's chosen for this month. That's great, honey, but could you cut it out now. It's hurting my feelings.
But no, the big fat jerk is still there, trying to escape via his vocal cords. Which at this point I might cut his damned vocal cords myself and we'll see how well he can say I'm sorry, but it really, really is all your fault I'm acting like an ass.
Is this just my husband or do the rest of them loose the important Treat Your Wife With Respect screw once in a while?
i think it is an all husband thing.....mine does it often too
ReplyDeleteI sorta have the same problem...
ReplyDeleteJody will make comments to me around others that are jokes, and I know that he is not serious, but I'm always worried that other people don't realize they are jokes and they think he is really mean and controlling, which is not true. I'm the controlling one ;)
yeah my hubby does the same.... i was gonna say its a military thing ( he was in the army) but it seems CJ and lindsey are in the same boat, but yeah hes the worse when hes around his friends... but i do have to say he has gotten better each year we are married....
ReplyDeleteLindsey- i do know jody ( i worked at swamp fox and your right... ive heard him say things and know hes joking as well but other customers would look at me like, um...

Men are from Mars....Women are from Venus. Just always keep that in mind.
ReplyDeleteHaving said that, I am VERY conscience of what I saw/think/act/look with my wife in any kind of company. It just makes life much easier! I am not shaken awake at 3 A.M by her finally venting on me for something I said/did/thought/looked at 4 days ago. I'm just too freakin old for that shit!
Also.....I am head over heels in love with my wife, she really is my very best friend, and I just totally believe in the Golden Rule.
......and yet, I STILL screw up!
