DH is being a Jerk! (vent)

OCMom2be

I have been working a TON of OT lately.. with Christmas coming up, all the shopping, more working OT and making it kind of a big deal for DD (and I am well aware she won't remember this year either) I kinda had an emotional breakdown today while talking to him on the phone. Well, as the day went on, I texted him to tell him I would be slipping away for a couple cocktails with the girls after dinner and after putting DD to bed (god forbid he do that on his own).. here is his response: "won't being away make you sad and cry again?" Whenever I have emotional breakdowns or cry over something, he makes fun of me and tells me I need to get my emotions under control. Umm, I am a girl ..dammit! Almost comes with the territory. UGH! I swear! He will never understand what an emotional rollercoaster it is to be a Mom. (Yep, I pulled the Mom card).

Vent over! Thanks for listening (reading) if you stopped by.

Yeah - I'm kind of a cryer as well, and DH used to make fun of that. So, finally I just seriuosly told him that all he needs to do is maybe listen to me and say "I understand" - and that's it: don't need his solutions, don't need him making fun of me, etc. He actually listened, and it's all A LOT better now GL! and have fun with the girls tonight!
