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. Dude totally made that up!!!
      I just saw this post and sorry but had to laugh because can relate to it perfectly lol
      Men they use sex as their happy drug wished it worked for me. But Im usually still worked up with agrivation

    3. It is so funny, we are opposite over here. I usually crash out pretty quick and he is up. Makes up for the fact that it usually takes me 30 mins to fall asleep and 1 for him!

    4. Oh this was perfect. I love that line in When Harry Met Sally when he asks how long he has to hold a woman following sex before he goes home. Is 5 minutes enough? 10?

      It’s really hard not to go to bed angry when the other one is snoring away peacefully.

    6. I swear they’re wired in a way that makes them fall asleep right afterwards every single time. It’s like their bodies just shut down. JERKS! I love going to bed angry, just for the record. I sleep fine when I’m mad. 🙂

    7. Never mind last night’s issue; I love how you reinforce the point about there being no such thing as a perfect marriage. People really need to hear that, especially from married women who look like they have it all together!
