How to Survive Life in the Suburbs

Never Go To Bed Mad? Who are THEY Kidding?

Attention: If you are my Mother, my sister, My Mother-In-Law, Sister-In-Law or some important person that I work for, this post is not for your eyes.  Look away!!  You have been warned.

I have been with my Hubby forever since 1993?  In all honesty, I’m so tired today, I can’t even do the math.  We have been through a lot.  Yah a lot more then I will ever willingly divulge on my blog.  Through all the ups and downs I can tell you one thing for sure…I have never doubted my love for my Hubby. I can also confess that although not a picture perfect marriage (because there is no such thing and anyone who ever tells you that has either been married for less then 6 months or is a big fat liar) the good far out weighs the bad.  I am one of the lucky one’s, I’m married to my best friend.

HOWEVER.

Last night.

He pissed me off.

It had been brewing all day.

I was in a kind of PMSing, every little thing was grating on my last nerve, he best just stay out of my way, kind of day.

Finally…after we survived the very cranky day, we retired to the bedroom.  He clearly had something on his mind. 

A sex thing.

*Mom I told you to stop reading already.

This girl was not in the mood but meh, he talked me into it.

Then I wanted to talk…about those PMSey things that had been bothering me all day…and what did my fabulous Hubby do?

He went to sleep!  Like in seconds.

I was sad, and mad and then I was stompy.

I grabbed my blankets and stomped my ass down to the spare room.  Pouting, sniffling, angry?  Why do dudes just go to sleep when they know we want to “talk”!  Is this some kind of self defense throw back from the cave man years protective thing?

Grrr.

Never go to bed angry huh?

A dude made that up.

Us women, we can stew with the best of them.

Just Saying.

    1. You’re not supposed to go to bed mad when you’re in a relationship. I, however, was unaware there was any other way to go to bed.

    5. You are not alone, my friend! Is it wrong that I feel kind of relieved reading this? It’s so good (and necessary) to let these feelings out. Too bad we live so far away! I’d love to have dinner, wine, and a chat with you, Lena, and the rest of the gals!!

    8. My husband doesn’t get to sleep when I get mad. I toss and turn violently while ripped all blankets and pillows with every turn. If he tries to sleep on couch I then stomp around and turn on all lights. He has finally learned to just let me yell then I will let him sleep.

    11. Secret Mom Thoughts – that’s hilarious!!!

      My “sweetie” has started to ask me “How long is it gonna last THIS time?” when he notices I’m peeved about something. Which, naturally, only manages to piss me off even more!!

      I bought a pin once that says, “Boys are stupid. Throw rocks at them.” It’s still my favorite pin. Just sayin’… 😉

    14. O no he didn’t! Did he even realize that your were cross with him?

      You know my parents lived by that ‘rule’. It’s never worked in our house!
