i have to say i read every word on that description. i was laughing so hard by the middle of it, i called my husband over and went back to the top and had him read it too. you have such a way with words and i completely sympathize with you going to the grocery store with 6 kids. i can only imagine. i think you SHOULD write a book! i know i'm getting pleasure out of your misery, but that was seriouly the funniest thing i've read in a while![nbriggs]
it's gotta be hard with 4 kids. i have one and some days i want to rip my hair out of my head! maybe you should call the doctor and get on something. after i had my daughter i had some post-partum, but never got on anything for it. you should get something. make your life a little saner.[nbriggs]
Well, you've had 2 young kids in a short period of time, postpartum depression could deffinatly be the cause. I know you've mentionned it before.. Maybe you should really look into that. Are you normally this angry or is it recent?
it couldn't hurt to see if it isn't a bit of post partum something...but it could be true "discontent" too, that needs some attention and tweaking. medicine won't help that. sometimes we get such a bad wrap for truly not liking the way things are, and it just gets chalked up to hormones. (and then again, sometimes it truly is that).
(any chance you can get into a bit of therapy to talk to someone?)
oh man, i'm not even married to my guy yet and he already does these little things that just irritate the hell out of me and he is WELL aware of it...such as i have repeatedly asked him to put his clothes in the laundry basket, when he changes out of them...instead of just throwing them into the laundry room in a big pile right in front of the washer, or just leaving them randomly placed ALL OVER the house...i said to him, ' i swear i could put a landry basket in every room of the house and your clothes still wouldn't end up in them', i have resorted to just not washing his clothes that don't end up in the landry basket, but by the time he finally puts them in there, i end up with 10 loads of laundry! So now i have resorted to doing little things that irritate him, and i have to say, it is really starting to work...all i have to do is give him this look and he goes and puts his clothes in the laundry basket...hehehe...
i know what you mean when money is tight...sucks don't it...try to think of all these things you can get rid of just to make a little extra cash...feels like sh*t...but you got to do what you got to do right...
thanks for your comments...it helps to know other women understand. I feel so awful for not thinking this is just the most wonderful thing ever to happen to me. Maybe someday I will think that, but for now I feel tired..overworked...fat and ugly.
I read your past 4 entries...can totally relate. Husbands can suck too. I cant believe about the cereal thing...my husband would have totally done the same thing. I have a hard time not getting very angry at him for those types of things. How come we (as women) have to hold everything together and they (as husbands) can walk around not listening and being selfish. I supposed to be soo grateful that he wouldnt cheat and makes a decent living. Why is that all men have to do in life to be a "a good husband". Thats not enough for women to be deamed "a good wife".
about the shower curtain and the silk pillow, give it up, he'll never change! my husband hold down the shower curtain from the inside with a tub of something. noxema, bath salts, whatever he can get his hands on. i ask him not to do it because when i get in the shower, inevitably, a large tub of something falls off the inside of the curtain and smashes me in the foot. we've been having this fight for 5 years. i haven't even made a dent in his brain that this bothers me. if i've learned anything in our 7 years together, it's men don't house break well. and God bless you if you have 4 boys like your name says! i don't know how you do it! you deserve some sort of medal or you have a spot all picked out for you in heaven![nbriggs]
I hate to sound cold and unfeeling, but instead of hating the porn, join him. It's all the same anyway. Once you've seen one you've seen them all. [SteeleBlack]
i hope you continue writing here, I'd like to see how all of this situation will evolve. In my opinion, although i arent one to talk (you'll know if you read my entries), ending a second marriage because it is unhappy is far less devastating than leading an unhappy life forever.
And as for the anger... If my boyfriend did that, I'd throw the cereal boxes right on the floor too, the point was to save money... kind of defeated the whole purpose, didn't it.. If he doesn't listen to you, then who will? Your anger is completely justified in this situation, especially considering his lack of an appropriate response... or any at all. Don't let him make you think you're the crazy hormonal one... Any woman would crawl out of her shorts in a situation like that one![PrisonBird]
