Hubby irritated me today

We got around 1/2 inch of snow last night...no biggie.  I had to take my son to a counseling appointment and several times along the way my tires had spun, I slid a bit here and there.  We had to swing back by the house afterward since I had forgotten something. As I try to slow down to pull into my driveway, my brakes locked up (even though I'm supposed to have ALB) and we gently glided past the house.  My son wondered where I was going...I said "trying to go home!"  The car finally stops, I get us backed up and into the drive.

I step inside and mentioned to my husband that once I start the new job one of the first things I'll need to do is get new tires (they've been needing to be replaced for 2 years now) and get the braking system checked. I shouldn't have been sliding that much with barely 1/2 inch of snow.

He instantly says "You must have been driving too fast."

Screw you jackhole. I grew up in the country driving backroads that never got plowed. I've lived with winter weather all my life. I'm not retarded and I know how to drive in the snow.  My traffic offenses in my entire life = None. His = too many to count.

So I let him know I'm a little irritated...I leave to take son to school and go to work.  Going 12 miles per hour (TWELVE!) my ALB again doesn't go on and I slid through a stop sign. Nice.

I call him to let him know that it just happened again at TWELVE mph.

I get to work...hop on Facebook...and HE had already posted a status about how "Mood of today = PISSY."

Doesn't make me any happier.

Thank you for reading...vent over.

    Ugh! S

  • Ughhh, that would really irritate me too.  Sorry you're going through this.  My gut reaction is, "Well then you can drive the car and see how well you do!" Which probably would not really help anything....  When you said that you have no tickets and he has a bunch!  Ooo, yea.  And the FB status, oh my.  He just pushed all of my buttons, haha.  I can sort of relate, as I need tires too and DH just seems to wave it off as no big big deal.  I really hope your day gets better!!  The weekend is finally coming, at least!

  • Oh my gosh!  That facebook status would've been that last straw for me.  DH would've been enjoying the couch tonight.  I hope your day has gotten much better!

  • I am sorry you are having a bad day. My husband irritated me today too.  He went to a work Xmas party with me but wouldn't participate in the gift exchange or mingle and we had to leave early.  Ugh.  A girl I just met a few months ago said let it go...she has been married 17 years...it is hard to know what to let go and what not to. 
  • What is it with men in thinking that women are incapable of driving properly?  No, it couldn't be the car's fault, even though it has old tires.  Nope, must be the woman!  Ugh. 

    But, definitely get your car looked at.  It sounds dangerous!

  • Aw, I'm sorry your husband isn't being very fair about the car situation.  Does he drive your car often?  Maybe he honestly doesn't understand the severity of the problem.  Not that it's an excuse for his behavior, but maybe if he witnessed the problem himself, he would be more inclined to get it fixed ASAP.  Just ask him to drive around with you for a bit and show him what's been going on.
