NBR: Stupid Husband vent

gypsywitch · August 2009

So, I made Staff Sergant this test cycle ( I'm in the air force, this was my 1st time testing for this rank and I made it, which is rare your 1st time). Anyways, The base has a huge party to celebrate everyone who made rank at the end of the duty day. All of us who made rank have to contribute $20 bucks for an open bar and free food for everyone. Well, My X husband also made rank this year, and obviously he is going to be at this party and will be bringing our daughter. Well, my husband refuses to come because he's going to be there. Really? this hurts my feelings. I worked and studied really hard to make this rank, and I'd like him to be there. and I think its really $hitty he wont come. Jerkface.

First, congratulations! This is awesome.

Next, tell your husband to put on his big boy pants, wear something SUPER sexy and be all over you all night! That'll show your ex what he's missing.

Third, tell him your feelings are hurt, and this is about you, not him, and he should support you. If that doesn't work, tell him you are carrying his child so he has to do what you say!

congrats!! what a huge accomplishment! I agree with you on this one. I would tell him that this is not about him but about supporting his wife and her accomplishemnts! So get over your pride and do something that would make your pregnant wife really happy!!

my personal motto in life is: "if the momma is happy, the family is happy"

Congrats! You DH def needs to put the big boy pants on for this one! Did you tell him it hurts your feelings? Sometimes even the smartest man can be totally clueless about "feelings"! If all else fails, sell the open bar and free food! Again, congrats!

Congrats on the new rank! Not sure if it's the same but moving up to Staff NCO in the Marine Corps is a huge deal.

Your DH needs to get over himself and support you (it's not like you and the ex picked up at the same time just to make him jealous or something - wtf!) Plus, you have a child with Ex, DH is going to have to come to terms with them being in your life. (I'm beginning to wonder if DH is jealous of your new rank and/or intimidated by Ex being higher ranking/more powerful than him. Maybe you need to talk with DH and reassure him that he's the man of your life, he has nothing to worry about with Ex.)

Enjoy the party!

sounds like my husband. guessing your hubby is non military, otherwise he's understand the importance? good luck, and congratulations!

Ummm, how old is your husband? This is very immature behavior. You have earned something really awesome and as your partner, he should WANT to celebrate with you.

WOW.

DH outranks both my X and I. He just, dislikes my X very much and is uncomfortable being around him, especially when our daughter is around. I don't know why....i mean i suppose its weird, but its not THAT weird is it? He knows how it makes me feel, but he's just so darn stubborn he refuses to look past himsef.
