2nd Trimester
What keeps you from killing him? (long)
DH totally pissed me off last night, made me cry twice.
First I was talking to him about how I would do my hair for this weekend's weding that I'm in. He says, "Just don't put that poof in the front. It makes you look like a Branch Davidian." I was asking you for a suggestion, not a critique Paul Mitchell!
Then we're fixing dinner plates after I cooked a roasted chicken, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green beans, the whole nine. I made gravy! He gets all pissy about how disorganized the kitchen is. I say, "Feel free to reorganize it if it's such a problem." His response? "No! I have to go to work eight hours a day." Fvck you douche. We were on the outs for the rest of the night. He apologized, but I was still ticked (sensing this is deep rooted resentment). He apologized again this morning and I'm forgiving him.
I'm going to make dinner tonight and am reminded of his douchiness. So I think of something that makes me happy to bear his child.
We went away for our anniversary a couple of weeks ago. He put on the ipod on the way down and he had made me a playlist of songs I would like (ones from our wedding) and ones I would laugh out loud too (think Flight of the Conchords).
So, no arsenic in the chicken and dumplings. What keeps you from killing your DH/SO/FI?
Lillian Annette, can't wait to meetcha!

Re: What keeps you from killing him? (long)
The fact that without him, I would be parenting five children on my own. (After a long and painful battle with his ex, who is entirely unfit.)
All hubbies have douche moments. Does yours clean the kitchen after you cook? Just wondering why he even cared...
The thought of giving birth in jail usually helps me.
No seriously, lately he will come give me a hug or a massage and that will help me not kill him.
OK, the Branch Davidian reference made me LOL! But still, they just don't have that all-important sensitivity chip that we need... My husband made me cry last night after he snapped at me for disrupting his concentration while he tried to figure out his Bluetooth headset... I was trying to show him an ad in Real Simple that featured several babies in onesies... He realized he was being a b*tch, but it was too late.
What keeps me from killing him... Economics.
I'm really glad you posted this! Sometimes I feel guilty for getting so pissed at DH for what are probably little things in the grand scheme. And I can't stand when he uses "I work" as an excuse for why he can't do something - I work too (one full-time and two part-time jobs at that!).
One thing that I think has made things a little harder lately (and sorry if this it TMI) is that we're not having sex very often. I definitely notice our relationship seems to be better when we're having regular sex - I don't get so annoyed by the little things, we joke around more, etc. Hopefully after the baby is born and my body is recovered, that part of our life will somewhat return to "normal."
What is up with the pissy DHs lately??
I swear, mine did something very similar the other day...said that he was tired of the house "being a sty"...I work from home so I'm the one to do the cleaning. I didn't see the "sty" he was talking about...maybe a few dishes in the sink. He got the silent treatment for the rest of the day.
Hee hee. It's funny cuz it's true!
Chaos -- he kind of cleans up after dinner, but he was pissy the second he got home from work yesterday, I think it was just a bad day. The counter was cluttered, but it was mostly pots and such for dinner.
OMG, mine does that too. It's like one of the only things I ask him to do in the house besides taking out the trash. He doesn't see why he has to do it when I'm home all day (I work from home most of the time).
lol, I could agree with this one. but I'd say that every once and a while, when I least expect it, he will compliment me or do something that shows how much he really does love me. So the moments of asshatness arent as major.
I do find it interesting that we all seemed to be freaking out last week and this week DHs are being doucherrific.
Hmmm... maybe they're related?
He gets mad at me when I ask him to change one diaper...like I havent been doing it ALL day. Especially if it's poopie...then he asks "what, did you wait til I got home to get me to do it? why didnt you just do it?" Umm...cuz I've changed 5 today alone? On one boy? Geez...
What a poophead!
We both work, so there's none of the tit for tat, but I'm really lucky we split everything 50/50. I have perfected the poopy diaper technique though. We do rock,paper, scissors, I always win!
