must vent...(long)
Ok so here I go:
1. Awhile back (after Celeste's birthday party) during a rare car ride with just DH and me I was sharing some info re: a family member's not so good events that were shared with me by my mom. I am a talker and I need to vent (alot). So I started telling him what happened and right in the middle of me talking DH says " I don't want to hear this." Oh man-wrong thing to say because I just went off on him telling him that it hurts me to hear him say that because what I understand that to mean is that what I am saying is not important to him and that I am not valued. I straight out told him " You are my husband and I am suppose to be able to talk to you about anything. IF I can't talk to you about things that are important to me then who am I going to tell it too?" I was pissed all the way to mars and back. Last night when I got home at 130am he was still awake, apparently waiting for me. I had a hard day at work and I just wanted to get some sleep before Miss Celeste wakes up at 4. He asks me if I wanted to use the laptop which I usually do but I just wanted to lay my head on my pillow and sleep. SO he says I sent you something in Facebook. Even though I was tired I went on anyway and found that he had shared the video of Beyonce's song "If I were a boy". Its my first time seeing and hearing it so I didn't quiet understand it and had to listen to it again since he wanted me to listen to the lyrics. I still didn't get it until he explained it to me and then he mentioned how sorry he was for not listening to me when I was talking in the car. I was surprised that he still remembered that incident because usually he just brushes it away. After 10 years of thinking I know everything about him-apparently there is still some surprises left & happy to know it too.
Here is the funny part: since I was on face book I saw the video Mia posted and clicked on it not realizing that DH was still talking and the volume was up. He turned the tables on me! He started telling me that I was not listening to him and would rather watch videos of my nestie gals (well at the time it was true-the girls are cute). Communication in a relationship seems to be the cornerstone -?
Re: must vent...(long)
Oh Mae! I must smile at your story becuz it happens to me too. Sometimes I think DH is overly sensitive when he says I hurt his feelings, and then the reverse. And even if we've known each other for many many years, it still seems new sometimes.
It was very sweet of him to stay up for you and send you the song message. :-)
