Re: dear DH
Thanks for the support and kind words. I'll give you girls an update on the situation when there actually is one.
Despite the fact that we 1.) didn't eat together 2.) I didn't go upstairs to bed until 2:00 AM and 3.) we hadn't spoken since last night's "incident," DH seemed to not know that anything was wrong. What?!?! He was all cuddly this morning and I'm thinking "is he sleeping?" but no he was awake. Luckily I heard C talking so I had an out. I said nothing and got up to get her. I decided to be the bigger person (and avoid a morning fight) by making his coffee and lunch but meanwhile I had C in my one arm so I wasn't able to roll up the wrap. He came downstairs when I was finishing up and I handed her to him without saying anything. He played with her for a few minutes while I finished getting things together. When he hands her back he says "what's wrong?" I told him in one sentance (which clearly wasn't everything) and he says he's sorry and I replied that I didn't really think that he was. He apologized again and kissed me good bye, but I'm sure there's going to be big fight of some sort in my weekend. It kind of sucks because we're going out tomorrow night for an early b-day dinner for me, but whatever.
In case anyone is wondering about how dressed up I got today.... I'm wearing a Phils 2008 World Series sweat shirt and red sweat pants. Hey, at least my sweats match today.

Re: Re: dear DH
at least half the city has to be wearing the same thing, so you are definite dressed appropriately for the weekend!
I'm just getting caught up.
I hope things turn for the better. He's being an ass and needs to be told it. Some guys just don't get it.
This exactly. If he had any idea just how hard you work every day with C now, he would be eating his words and begging for forgiveness. ((hugs))
This. I'm sorry he's being such an ass. You work very hard and home and he needs to realize that and apologize! Hopefully you will have a great birthday dinner this weekend!
I read your post from the day before also... Nat, I'm so sorry you're feeling like this... It's rough in the beginning and men just don't understand that. I swear, I didn't cook for like 3 months and got $hit for it every.single.day. I would have to wait most days for Peter to get home to even just take a shower and many days I was just moving from one set of PJs to the next. It was really tough - so when it comes to understanding that, your girlfriends with kids will, but probably not Brian who's not home with you all day...
It wasn't until we went to Greece that Peter started to understand what taking care of Mari is like. And until Brian is able to switch places, he won't get it either. Just reiterate that you're doing the best you can when he says stupid crap to you.
Oh, and by the way, Sherri Argov - an author of women's books - says "men don't respond to words; they respond to no-contact" so what you're doing is correct (according to her) to show him something's wrong.
