NER: Having kind of a bad day :(
Had a fight with DH this am, and it was really sucky. We're going to talk at lunch, but I hate waiting and I just feel really miserable.
I am trying to remember to be an adult and still get through my day, but it is hard.
Thanks for listening.

my read shelf:
Sorry to hear that, bb, and hope you two work it out. I hate thinking about personal stuff at work but sometimes you just can't help it, ya know?
Feel free to vent here!
sorry! I hate fighting. DH is being weird/difficult today and I hate having to ignore it all until he finally gets over himself. He was quizzing me yesterday on how we would redo the furniture if we had a kid. WTF? I'm not pg yet. We haven't even officially "tired" yet. Goddammit don't freaking get into a fight with me about how to rearrange GD the furniture for our hypothetical child!
ok, sorry to hijack your post, lol. What was your fight about?
Thanks guys!
I am nonconfrontational, too, mw, which was the problem. I actually made this fight. We had a minor disagreement over something small, then I, so desperate not to be blamed, inadvertantly blamed him. When I explained this, it made it sound like I think he's this total *** tyrant, who I have to fear.
That's why we're really in a fight. He is upset that I think he's a douche. I really don't, I just didn't want to fight. Ironically, this made us fight.
What is the matter with me?
I think thats what happens to us too! I used to be able to say "I'm not fighting!" when he would start to pick a fight and it worked for a year or two. Now he just frustrates the crap outta me so much that I can't say anything or else I'll say something he'll hate me for. So then I just have to forget the whole thing until he wants to bring it up again.
Fighting sucks.
I'm sorry.

And for good measure,
You guys are awesome! I am feeling better, but I think I'll feel better after lunch.
I'm sorry bunny!
I hate fighting with DH. We were grumpy with each other this morning (well I think he was the grump one). I find that if our disagreements are separated by work, we actually do a pretty good job of resolving them by email. Which we did this morning. Have you tried emailing your H? This always seems to work for us.
Best!
LMW--we do the same thing. As much as I hate texting or email to take the place of real conversation, it can actually really help to have just a bit of distance. Phone calls are out because the tone of voice is so easily misunderstood. Emails are our initial truce, until we can have civil conversation again.
Hope you get it worked out over lunch, Bunny!
Well, he works one aisle of cubes over--I brought him a Kit Kat as a peace offering, and he thanked me and all, and I said I was sorry again. He said he didn't want to talk about it here. I asked if we were going to be okay, and he said yes, he just didn't want to discuss it now. I asked if we could talk about it at lunch, and he agreed. I also just texted him about something unrelated, and he responded cheerfully enough.
I don't know if it's clear yet, but it's kind of a miracle that someone married me. I'm totally horrible at relationships, reading moods, etc.
I'm sure you guys will work it out. Sometimes it takes the littlest thing to spark WW III (At least at my house, lol)
Good luck, BB!
Thanks, everyone! We talked and are much better now.
I really appreciate all the niceness!
