Marriage is hard.

Re: Marriage is hard.

  • Indifferent Uh oh.

    I can't speak for everyone... but  I'm pretty sure we've ALL had those moment.s

  • did you live together before marriage? Definitely moving in can be an adjustment. And so can figuring out each others expectations and learning how to handle things like finances, sharing housework, and spending time together. I hope that whatever it is is something that you guys can work out quick!!!
  • Like Sarah said, I think we've all been there on occasion.  Hope it's nothing serious and he's able to redeem himself!

  • Sometimes it does seem like Jerk mode is a normal thing for them.  ;)

    Don't worry, he'll wise up eventually and hopefully his apology will include one of the following:  flowers, candy, a strong drink... or how about all three!

  • Do you need me to come throat punch him and/or thump his forehead?
  • Men can be difficult to live with at times... but try to keep the communication open! Hope everything is ok!

    I could have used the thump yesterday!

    Don't worry we've all been there. I hope whatever's going on get resolved quickly!

  • I've been having the urge to throw my shoe at my H lately too! 

    Men can just suck!  I just bought a case of beer...that should help! 

     

  • Amen sista!!  I have those moments from time to time.  Hope he redeems himself ASAP!

    I'm sorry, everyone does definitely have their moments. {{Hugs}}

  • ::HUGS:: I've definitely been there a few times.  Marriage is hard no matter how long you dated or lived together before!
  • Yes ma'am it is!  

     

    Big hugs.  It will all be okay.  :-) 

  • Well I think we're all cooled down now. Not everything's resolved but I least I don't have daggers shooting out of my eyes anymore. I would still like Tammy to throat punch him for being a jerk though. At least he bought me lunch and I was able guilt trip him into getting me a puppy :)

     I wish I was a "screamer." Meaning I think I would feel so much better if I could just scream all of emotions/thoughts at him instead of keeping them all bottled up. I have the HARDEST time articulating my emotions when I'm angry so I usually just end up going silent and ignoring him. Or crying and ignoring him. Which doesn't help anything at all. Ugh, I get so frustrated with myself. :(

  • I will agree, marriage is NOT the fairytale we are led to believe like in the movies. I got this saying somewhere some time ago - "Someone should sue Disney for making little girls believe there is a happy ever after!"

    Taken lightly that can be funny. I hope I don't offend anyone.

    Allison, hope whatever it is he makes up for it!! {{hugs}}

  • Alli, I'm the same way.  I bottle things up and have a really hard time expressing myself.  I usually go the silent route.  

    Sorry you're having a tough time right now.  I feel that way about my H more days than not recently! 

  • Yeah... I've been there.  There were good moments in my marriage but mostly they were only OK or flat out bad.  As long as you still have those good moments you're good!  :)

    The one thing I will say- if he ever physically harms you GET OUT!  I know that seems so obvious to say but it took me 7 months to leave after and I never thought I'd be "that woman".  And I got a puppy out of that, too, but it didn't make up for what he'd done.  But if he's just being a jerk... well, all men really are jerks sometimes!  Get used to it and start saving up guilt trips to pull out when you need it.  You can get some nice things when your man knows you're mad with him.  

    And Tammy is the best Throat Punch Body Guard ever!  I've called upon her many times to take care of some throat punchin' for me.

     

  • I am glad to hear that you both have cooled off a bit.  Sometimes guys are just jerks.  I always have believed that no matter how mad at get at DH, if I can still name three good things about him, it is worth trying to fix.  But at the same time, I agree with Jaye, if a guy is physically abuse, I don't agree with that, and I would hope I can walk away, should that ever happen.

     Sorry your DH is being a PITA right now, I hope it gets better soon

    Agreed! DH and I went through a rough spot a couple months after the wedding. I didn't think there would be an adjustment to marriage since we'd already lived together for 2 years, but I was wrong! When it comes to money and kids my husband and I were on different pages. We both thought we were headed for divorce. Things are better now, even though we still don't see eye to eye on everything, we're learning to communicate better.
