DH and I had it out last night.

TommysGirl56 · January 2010

It began with me coming home from my parent's house late after picking up Alannah (which upsets him) and me getting irritated to find him watching a DVD when there was laundry and dishes to be done. Words were exchanged and feelings were hurt.

We cooled off, and finally talked it through at 2:30am. We both do things that hurt the other one without meaning to. I told him I tend to stay at my parent's for awhile at the end of my day to avoid seeing my house with so much to do that I can't get it all done (it overwhelms me and brings on strong feelings of depression). DH explained that he works and goes to school...he has one or the other or both every day of the week. He is tired...as much as he wants to help around the house, he just doesn't always have the time or energy.

We have both been wrong, but with our lives as they are right now, it is just difficult for us both to get out how we are really feeling and help the other one out. We are both overwhelmed at times, and the PPD affects us both. We apologized to each other and hugged. We woke up happier.

I mentioned to DH last night that maybe marriage counseling could help us deal with our issues with each other and help us learn how to communicate better. He was all for it! So we will be looking into that. I have arranged for an appointment with a psychologist (to discuss my PPD) for just me later this month, also.

So here's to a better day!
