Stupid fights

JackandCassie · December 2009

Right now, my husband is upset with me? Why? Because we had a disagreement about football strategy. For some reason, he can't just agree to disagree . . . He either has to be right or point out that I think I'm right because I'm being irrational. Uh no. That's not the way "agree to disagree" works. I can have a different opinion than you.

We rarely have fights, but when I tried to make up with him before bed by saying, "It's ok, we don't have to feel the same way" he said, "It's more than that. I think you're being difficult." Sir, just because I don't agree with you on what's the best thing to do in the last minute of the first quarter, it does not make me difficult.

Tomorrow, it will be fine. But seriously, we only fight about stupid things like this. What stupid things do you fight about?

Our fights are similar. Sometimes a little more serious than that but along the same lines of if I don't agree then I am being irrational and difficult. I mostly argue with him about how little he does around the house. He then says I am ridiculous and that I do nothing. This goes 'round and 'round for hours possibly.

That's how M gets into most arguments with people. He literally can.not.stand it when someone doesn't agree with him. He tries to say he doesn't care and that's not the issue, but he gets so mad the instant someone disagrees with him, about anything. It's almost like he can't accept the fact that everyone has their own opinions, that his is the only "right" one. He tries SO hard to justify his point and to push the issue with the person that that is when it escalates(sp?) into an agrument. That's how it goes with me at least, then I also get to hear the whole "You are not understanding me!" "Why do you have to make things so difficult?" bullshitt. He also can't shut his facking mouth until he's had the last word, it's really pathetic. My husband has what is called foot in mouth disease.

I get the "I don't want to make any more decisions today" bit. And he doesn't want to! Well, I did a lot today, too, and maybe, just maybe, I want someone to make my decisions--on what is for dinner, whether you like this or that... and so on.

I decided WE wanted to watch one show. He picked another-but wait! DH isn't making decisions today, so change that back! HA!

Other than that-we rarely argue. Oh, and my desire for him to take Beano..., but he's learning! I think he wiped himself out with the odors in the car this morning ! Maybe he'll learn it's not pleasant for others, too!

I get the "I don't want to make any more decisions line" too.

We also spent 30 minutes 'discussing' where to put the Christmas tree Wednesday night. Fun times.

We rarely argue, so when we do it's generally about stupid things. They usually involve my trying to help him out with something, like how to load the dishwasher (he seriously doesn't know how to do it properly) or not being so messy. They also tend to revolve around his sports-watching--he goes nuts when watching his teams (yells, jumps around the room, throws the remote, spikes his blood pressure, almost has a stroke) and I always say I understand you're into it, but you need to tone it down a bit. He gets mad at me because he says I don't get it, he's into his sports, and I get mad at him because I look into the future and don't want him acting like a raving lunatic when watching sports around our kid(s)...I don't want them to pick up that kind of behavior from him. It's dumb.

Oh, this is the other thing we fight about - when he tries to "fix" things I've done when there's nothing wrong with the way I did it. I'll do the dishes and then walk into the bedroom to get something and when I come back, he's restacking the drying rack.

I've read him the riot act about that and he's getting better. The last time I caught him doing it, I just looked at him and he exclaimed, "I just found another dish to wash! I SWEAR!!!!"

We've seriously only had one fight and I kid you not it was over Tacos.

We fight about household duties and whether or not they're being done correctly. Usually we just snap at one another during these arguments, but occasionally we reach the yelling/crying point--he yells, I yell and cry.
