I'm a crying cryer who cries.
My H left on Sunday and was supposes to be home tomorrow. Now he tells me he won't be home until Wednesday. This is bc he is a controlling workaholic who can't delegate to the crew of people that he pays very well even though he won't let them just do their jobs.
Its hard to manage with all the sudden changes. Ugh.
Re: I'm a crying cryer who cries.
Aw...
I would have cried too. I'm sorry.
Don't feel too bad. I was in the military myself but still cry when DH has to be away, expected or not. When he deployed the last time I told him if he loved me he wouldn't leave. (WTF Margot, that's not how it works der).
Hang in there.
Ok well now I feel like an assshole. A deployment is a lot more stressful than a few extra days! So, it's really kind of you to feel bad for me!
I'm a crier. I cried reading The Hunger Games, on the beach, in Aruba, in front of saraandmichael and booby and everyone. Like, bawling crying. HOT.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
I'm not normally a crier but I cry at stupid times. Funeral? Stone cold. Julia,loses her baby on Parenthood? hysterics.
Anyway, I made my H feel like a bag of shiit with my 'sniff sniff, I'm not crying..no really' and now he's trying to hire an editor so he doesn't have to do it Yeah, I'm that wife.
recent studies show 79.293% of women are "that wife"
so, at least you got that going for you.
we should meet.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
I know! You are one of a handful of people I wouldn't be creeped out to meet! Can we be FB buddies or is that creepy. There a few people who can vouch that I'm not a stalker!
My (now)XH got kicked out of the Navy, which forced me back to sea duty. We left on a deployment shortly after 9/11, which left him caring for the kids by himself. After a couple of months he e-mailed me, saying that the kids were driving him nuts, and that I needed to pack my sh!t and get home, he'd had enough. I responded that it was a good thing I wasn't in the same Navy he had been in, and luckily I had that option (I'd insert an eye-rolling smilie here if I weren't on Chrome). I totally cried when I left on deployment, but not because I was going to miss that POS.
Hey, it's good that he knows how you feel. And it's sweet that he's trying to get home to you. I think we're all 'that wife' at one point or another.
Today Instead of Working
She'll be 2 in May. He's not gone now but will be for a few weeks in June. I'm going to try to handle that with grace, LOL, we'll see.
OMG LOL sorry that happened. What a douche. I apologized before he actually left, I was just scuurreedd of being without him.
lol
no vouchers req.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
ygpm
Got it.
Yeah that's right my name's Yauch!
Did we marry clones of the same man? This has happened to me before.
Right now I am about to punch H's coworkers in the scrotes b/c he told them he's taking time off to help me with the baby/bond with the baby when she comes, and even though I am now overdue, they are still not taking it seriously and stepping up to get involved with his clients' projects. In fact, two of them went on a trip to NY to meet with vendors this week, and that's a trip they could have scheduled for any time this month or next month...but they love taking vendor trips because it's like going on a bender you can charge to the company card. I am mostly p*ssed at his coworkers but also a little at him b/c I have been telling him for months that he was still taking on to much of their work, rescuing them from their dumb mistakes too much, and otherwise not forcing them to act like adults, so that they wouldn't realize until too late that they need to do their f*cking jobs.
If they call him on his time off and he actually helps them out, I'm going to cry, and also probably break sh*t.
This is all on my H though. He just can't back away. He runs a company in which he does one specific job and facilitates the rest. So when he completes his part, he then oversees all the other parts instead of coming home. I get it and I love his ambition but he totally fuucks me over.
When I was pg my biggest worry was whether he would be there and how much time he would have after. The week before my die date he went to Haiti and was caught in the election riots. He was sequestered and I didn't talk to him for a week. Then, since I had her a week late, he had to leave again and I needed my Mommy.
And Margot, I totally bow down to you for doing it alone.
