Why I'm Rolling My Eyes at My SO 4/21

SOs are the best and we love them dearly but sometimes they make us roll our eyes. Here we can lovingly poke fun at the silly things they sometimes say/do...but we think they're the greatest anyway  <3

    Last night he text me saying he's in a bad mood, that it's no ones fault.  Then be writes the he needs a Corona.  Ummm, don't talk to me about "needing" a beer. He continues to say we don't have Corona but we have x and y instead. Really man? You've been at work 9 hours, I'd still have 3.5 to go. Turns out he had already left so he was there maybe a little over 8 hours. He had completely forgotten that he didn't go in until noon. I would know, he was at the appointment with me.  And then I'm not saying enough "nice" things because I keep having to remind him to pick up after himself.

    This morning BF joked, "when the babies are born I'm going to call you mother like Mike Pence." GROSS.

    Mine is one of those 30 minute poopers too. Always seems to happen right after I ask him to do something. 

    He was upset at me last week because I didn't have dinner on the table when he got home. I reminded him with a snarl that for weeks I've been preparing food I can't even eat, with a whiny toddler wrapped around my leg, while I try not to hurl into the sauce pan. That changed his tune a little. 

    Overall, he has been much more helpful to me this pregnancy though.

    *This is meant to be more funny than real. I don't have real eye rolls because DH is a sweetheart*

    HOWEVER pregnant me this morning was very upset. We walk to work and part of it is down a pedestrian walkway. A truck came up behind us and DH moved out of the way and told me to as well. I refused because I am a pedestrian and it was my walkway. I only moved when the truck honked at me and then I told DH he needs to back me up in my rights because I am pregnant and also a pedestrian and that is MY walkway.

    @av2323 my husband is also a 30 minute pooper. It has gotten so bad that when he says he needs to go I make him leave his phone somewhere. It's amazing how quickly they can get the job done when there is nothing to look at in there but the back of a shampoo bottle. Me for the win!

    Like clockwork, BF gets home from work, goes straight to the bathroom to poop for 30 minutes, of course. Yet I hear videos and laughter coming from the bathroom!

    My fiance is the long pooper too!! Lol And while he is in there I can hear him playing words with friends or watching something on his phone lol on top of that he lets the shower run even though our shower doesn't take that long to warm up at all!! So usually I give up my morning shower and just do mine in the evening.

    I don't know whether to roll my eyes or be endeared by my husband's recent reaction/comment to the following situation:

    We were texting back and forth about my parents coming in town this July with other family members (about 7 people). He said, depending on when you want to set up the nursery, we may only have two guests rooms, instead of three. I will be about 20 weeks along at that point and have plenty of time, but my DH is a teacher/coach and August-November is really busy. So he was thinking of planning ahead.

    I said, "Well, my mom offered to help set up the nursery while she is here, so we could do it toward the end of their trip so that the room could be used as a guest room for most of it."

    He responded: "Oh, if you would rather set up the room with your mom, that is fine." I was shocked. It's hard to read tone in texts, but it came across as him feeling hurt about it.

    So I responded, "No, I want you to be apart of setting it up if you want to, but she just offered to help. When do you want to set it up?" He responded, "I don't know." 

    We decided to have the conversation later in person. Ugh....I can't quite tell what my husband is excited to do and what he doesn't really care about sometimes...men.

    I'd like to preface this by saying ordinarily mine is awesome. Yesterday I kind of wanted to punch him.  He got home from work about 2 hours late.  Not normal, but I understand that things happen.  I had just finished making dinner which is no small feat with a toddler trying to climb my legs.  Our normal routine is:  mom feeds toddler while dad eats.  Dad finishes, takes over toddler feeding duty so mom can eat.  Mom takes back over so dad can get seconds if needed.  Yesterday it happens like this:  Dad eats while mom feeds toddler.  Dad gets 2nd plate.  Dad declares upon finishing 2nd plate that he must poop.  Dad plays on the phone in the bathroom for 30 minutes while "pooping".  (Pregnant) Mom finally gets to eat when toddler goes to bed.  I had a co-parent yesterday for approximately 15 minutes before Henry went to bed.  My anxiety about having 2 is through the roof based on yesterday's actions.

    This is a form a couple days ago.. so Wednesday I was feeling nauseous all day. I texted my husband around noon to say that if he wanted dinner, he had to tell me what he wanted and I would go to the store and make it. I was too sick to even think about food, but I didn't mind making it. He didn't answer for awhile, so I called him. He suggested going out to eat, so I said that was fine. He also forgot his wallet so he couldn't to out for lunch. I offered to drop off lunch at his office, but he said he was busy at work and would skip it. On his way home he was HANGRY and first said we could order pizza, which sounded good to me, and then said no, he'd get burgers. That sounded disgusting to me, and so I started crying. Then he was like, fine, you order pizza and I'll get a burger. Ok, problem solved. I had forgotten to take in the trash can feom the curb, and it was raining, so when dh got home he had to get out of the car in the rain to get the mail. He was so mad by the time he got inside, and made a few critical remarks about how I couldn't manage to do that. He also was critical of me not "handling dinner" when I had told him all day I would make dinner, I just couldn't think about food enough to plan. It was his night to put DS to bed, but he hadn't packed for his business trip the following day, and so I had to put DS to bed again. Ugh.

    @dragonfly87-2 My DH is like that sometimes too...he rarely expresses visible excitement about things so I just have to read between the lines. Sometimes I just want to tell him it's okay to have feelings, and it would actually make it easier for me if he would tell me what he wants! It's funny how women are often considered more "complicated" than men. *eye roll*

    emucoleman  Exactly!!! That's the problem, he doesn't show the excitement or say it, and then gets weird about things like this and expects me to read his mind! I think men can be way more complicated than women sometimes...

    Ok, I kind of take back what I said earlier because I feel like the world's worst wife right now.

    I usually leave earlier than DH in the mornings and will set out his food for lunch so he doesn't forget it. Today, I left quite a bit earlier than usual (by an hour) and didn't think twice when I put his container of spaghetti on the counter. DH didn't realize how early I left (he is a heavy sleeper) and also went about a half an hour later than usual. So his food likely was out of the fridge for up to two hours (including transport). He ate it for lunch and said within an hour he was feeling sick. He has been throwing up all night....so we think it's food poisoning. 

    I FEEL HORRIBLE. I know it was a mistake, but I should have thought ahead and I feel so awful about him spending a Friday night sick as a dog. I took him some crackers and water, but don't what else I can do, but apologize :'(

    @dragonfly87-2 I don't think you should worry too much - you generally have 4 hours that food can be left at room temperature before reheating or refrigerating, so unless it had been out for a couple of hours the night before, then it doesn't seem likely to me that it was the spaghetti. Many food borne illnesses also take days or weeks to incubate, so it could easily be something he ate quite a while ago. Don't beat yourself up over it. I hope he feels better soon!

    @lahansen: That's what I thought with food stuff and honestly I will "push it" sometimes with leaving food out that I will personally eat (not for his or other foods). I don't do it now that I am pregnant, but I have tempted fate quite a few times in the past and never get sick. So I am confused, but he is determined to believe it's food poisoning from the spaghetti because of the timing of onset. He doesn't seem mad at me...but then again he has been hurling in the bathroom for the past few hours.

    @dragonfly87-2 I tend to push it with food too, and have a good track record so far, but am also being quite a bit more careful now. People always think that the last thing that they ate is what made them sick and I think that plenty often that just isn't the case... It just feels that way because that's what you're throwing up. Could also be a stomach virus, so be sure to keep your distance! Some of those viruses can be contagious for up to a couple weeks after you feel recovered (I learned this the hard way).

    @dragonfly87-2 I totally agree with @lahansen don't beat yourself up. Chances are it had absolutely nothing to do with the spaghetti. Hope DH feels better soon though!

    My blood pressure runs low- 90's/60's. When I'm pregnant, it runs really low- 80's/40's. DH is working today, and I just called to tell him that I just took a shower and I feel really lightheaded, like I'm going to faint. I told him that I'm laying down and trying to drink water. His response was, "okay, well, we've had a busy day and I'm finally about to get some lunch." 

    1. Thanks for your concern. (Sarcasm)
    2. It's not even noon yet, relax.
    3. Whenever your pregnant wife is trying to confide in you how she's feeling, it's never the right time to play "who has it worse", because she always does.

    my DH is amazing, but sometimes he is just so oblivious!!!!
