Re: i hate him sometimes

  • wow. I think it is time to have a frank discussion about how to split duties/responsibilities. 

    wait until you are both calm and can have a talk without being too emotional.

    It won't work. My husband lacks something that is required for such a discussion: empathy. He has none. No one in the world works harder, is more tired, or is more inconvenienced or downtrodden than he is -- at least, according to him.

    He just told me what a long, exhausting day he's had and that he's going to bed (he got off work at 2 pm today, after sitting in his office making some client calls). He asked me how much longer I would be. I said probably a couple more hours.

    Then he says, "Well, is there anything I can do to help?" With my work? Are you serious??

    It's so incredibly hypocritical and blind to my needs or my freaking mental, emotional, and physical health that it's almost laughable.

     

     

    well, if talking won't work and he truly has no empathy, I guess it is time to get a lawyer and file for divorce.

    there isn't going to be some magical answer other than to talk to him and work it out between the two of you.

    why did you have two kids with a guy who doesn't have any empathy?

  • I'm not getting a divorce. Actually, the other option is that I just suck it up and let out steam when I can on anonymous message boards like this one. The guy is also my best friend, oddly.

    And because I wanted children -- with or without him or anyone else, I love being a mom, and my kids are healthy, happy, and well cared for. I wouldn't undo that decision even a little.

    You're best friends with someone who doesn't give a sh!t about you?

     What the heck happened?

    did you delete what you said? Because I'm comin' up on empty here with your first 2 posts.

    If you are unhappy, I guarantee you that your kids are too, even if they do not openly show it --- kids have a way of picking up when things are not good between their parents.

    With friends like that, etcetera. You know the saying.

    This, without background information, makes you sound like a complete psycho. You're pissed off because he offered to help you? With your work? What a ***!!

    My husband helps me with my work all the time. We talk things through that I'm stressed about, he helps me by offering an outside perspective to a problem, he's done some internet research stuff for me when I'm swamped and he's at home. Total jerk, I know!

    And some jobs are very stressful (I'm in one, I feel) - spending a couple of hours doing client calls from a desk can be incredibly stressful, given the subject and nature of those calls - and can be emotionally and mentally draining, which makes you physically tired. Just because he got home at 2 doesn't mean it was an easy day.

  • Well when you allow someone to treat you like crap, they do.

    When you have no self esteem they walk all over you.

    when you are so desperate to have a partner, you get the left overs.

    When you call this love, you are a moron.
