Just venting.

I had a rough night. As soon as I got off of work, we had scheduled to rent a shampooer from the company we bought our vaccuum from. My mom and I went up, it took us about 30 minutes to get to this place. On the way back, we hit a traffic jam which took us twice as long to get home. So we finally go home, I wasn't even upset about being in the traffic so long. I started cleaning and getting ready to shampoo the carpets. I moved everything out that I could to make it go more smoothly. I got about 1/3 of the carpet shampooed and while I moved the dining room table, my mom took over. My SO gets home from work. He starts running his mouth about me not pulling the car back farther. Yes dear, I'm sorry. Not good enough because I KNOW when he's coming home and I should've known better (despite him being able to get in his freakin' parking spot). Then it was that the house is a mess (umm, I just cleared everything out of the dining room, WHAT DO YOU EXPECT?). After that, it was that I didn't deposit my check. Then it was that we needed milk and that I know he doesn't like to go anywhere after he gets home. Does he think I enjoy running errands when I work 9 hrs a day and he only works 8? He went to the store, my parents took V to get pizza. He comes back and starts yapping again about not picking up after V, which if anyone has KIDS they know that kids take their toys right back out after picking them up! Then he was complaining that I go too many places and use too much gas. Then it was about the electric bill. He said he wanted to get a second job because he didn't like being home. WHAT?! So I said "gee thanks" and all he said was "you're quite welcome". I make $9 an hour more than his ass so he needs to lay off. If I want to take V to the park, I think I should be able to do that without complaint. If I want to take her to the lake to feed the ducks, I will. She enjoys these things. He never comes along. He never WANTS to.  Grr. I hope he's not PMSing tonight.

Yeah we've been through this before. I try to explain to him that I don't like being treated like that and he should be more positive about life but nothing ever works. I'm just going to not show him all my affection for a while like he does to me and see what he feels about that. I always compliment him and say nice things to him. The only people he tells that they're beautiful are his female friends and our daughter. It's unacceptable.
Wow, that is bad. I would not put up with that crap, you have some real patience!!! If my husband talked to me like that, his butt would be on the street. He is obviously not happy, maybe a heart to heart is in order.
Yeah, I'm just not speaking to him yet. The first time I encountered him today was at lunch, he had come home early for his break while I was still there on mine. I didn't ignore him and I didn't give him an attitude, I just didn't speak to him.
Phew, good you got that out. Hope you're having a better day!
