I'm so mad right now I could pop!

I think I'd leave this topic up where he could read it... maybe then he'd see what a jerk he's been.

He'd be having PB&J, not stuffed shells which take forever to make... where the heck does he get off making demands.

He wouldn't be seeing my romantic side until he knocked some sense into himself... or I found the rolling pin.

Again I want to thank you all for your replies. First off Someone(I think Slinkytoys?) asked if he was stepping out on me. The answer is no, he works at the same factory with his Mom and Dad and I know they work long hours and when they all leave.

I did talk to him when he got home last night. When he got home I had an edge in my voice about how he was without supper because I didn't have a vehicle. He realized the edge and said he was sorry, but he took my truck so he could bring home a surprise(no I didn't feel guilty for feeling bad after he said this, I had a bad weekend remember) well I had been trying to get an incubator from tractor supply. I have one with a turner, I wanted another so when I take the eggs out of the turner to hatch I could put the turner in the second incubator and start more eggs. I have a good friend that takes the babies and sells them and we split the profits. I don't make much money, but it's fun and I will incubate anything that will fit in my incubator.

Ok wow off topic, sorry. Anyways he went to the town over from where he works and bought me an incubator and another turner(kind of hard to bring home on the motorcycle lol) Well I told him I appreciated it but I would have been happier if we would have had a good weekend. He agreed and apologized. he said he knew he was making a mess of things by Saturday night. But like alot of you mentioned neither of us talked about it. so there was a major lack of communication. We talked a long time last night about that and other things, and really we both feel alot better. Maybe this just has been building up. I for one will not let this happen for lack of communication again. we decided that we are going to do something just the 2 of us the next day we both have off, it won't make up for it, but it will be nice and I will make sure we do.

oldtimegator, SallyF, & SpeckledRoo you must all have been married for a long time, I respect your words of wisdom and will take it all to heart. Thank you.

That's what he ended up eating last night

I was willing to talk and forgive, but I still was not making anything for him last night.

ETA: my rolling pin is made out of marble, I would have killed him. he lucky I have restraint.

I love the marble ones, but mine's got Teflon coating... easy to whip off the evidence.

Wait....WHAT?!?!

Let me preface all this by saying, I'm a dude.. So...a little male perspective here.. Also, I "work" and my wife "stays home" and takes care of the house and all the animals and so forth.. There's no money in that for either of us, but......well, that's beyond the scope of this discussion. Point is, she's home all day every day working on stuff. Note the keyword there...working.

Anyway..

Ok, so first of all, I can't imagine saying something like that to my wife unless I was really p/o'd about something and looking to start a fight for some stupid reason. She asks me lots of times what I want to eat for dinner and my stock reply is "Don't ask me what's for dinner unless I'm cooking it." She tells me what's for dinner -- and sometimes it's drive-thru I'm apparently going to pick up on my way home!

Needless to say, unless I'm p/o'd about something or we're broke and can't really afford another meal out, I don't say much about dinner..

I've actually had women tell me I should be telling her to cook everyday and blah blah blah...but most of them, I think, are just aggravated at the idea that my wife is home all day eating bon bons or whatever it is they think she's doing.

Second, if I did spout off about a lack of supper on the table when I walked in the door, in the offensive, condescending manner with which your husband did...uh, ya, a fight would ensue... More importantly, though, is that I LITERALLY CANNOT IMAGINE how that fight could possibly end with HER going to town to get us something to eat! I mean...in a million lifetimes, that would never happen.

This whole thing reminds me of a bit comedian Rodney Carrington does.. He said he called his grandma on the phone one day and she whispered "Hello?" He whispered back "Hello, grandma, this is Rodney......why are we whispering?" She said "Because your grandpa's taking a nap and the last time I woke him up, he made me mow the pasture."

Rodney then says "....SHE'S EIGHTY SIX! GOD BLESS THAT MAN! I can't even get my wife to vacuum the g_____m floor!"

All I can say is...as a guy, I know what Rodney Carrington means when he says that.. BUT, it's a lot funnier to think of a guy having that kind of power in a relationship WHEN IT'S NOT A REAL SITUATION.

This is too real.
