Do you believe that? I couldn't. It is the stupidest thing to fight about. My significant other went flounder fishing on tuesday and he caught two very nice sized fish. One was 22 inches and the other was 24. He came home filleted them and put them on ice in the refridgerator. We couldn't make it on wednesday because we were going out for the fourth and he said we had to make it Thursday, fresh fish will only keep for so long and he doesn't like to freeze food. But I also had a pack of chicken in the fridge that I bought when I went shopping sunday and I needed to get that cooked also. So when dinner time came last night I totally forgot about the fish and cooked the chicken. He called on his way home from work and asked what I was doing, told him making dinner, he said what are u making i told him chicken. AND HE STARTED HOLLERING!!!! I told you I was going to make that fish! and then HE HUNG UP ON ME. OVER FOOD. He's lucky I even made dinner. Next time he can work ten hours and come home and cook too. Don't get me wrong I understand that he's proud of himself for the catch and that he doesn't want it to go bad. But come on I'm not allowed to forget sometimes? Well anyway we're not fighting anymore he apologized for losing it over something so minor and I apologized for not remembering the fish. But I'm still very hurt and there was a better way for him to go about it than flipping out. Geez wait til I forget something really important like locking the front door at night.

well yeah, it was really a minor thing for him to react like that. He did say sorry...so just forgive him and forget about it...it'll be better for your relationship. ^__^

you're right. Thank you. I know right now I'm acting like a brat for not just letting it go.

Isn't it funny how we can all "wig out" about some of the most silly things..but yes, credit is due to your s/o...he admitted his error..no you're not a "brat"...you were hurt.. But,... in all honesty...I'm sure with "clearer eyes" now..you can see that life is tooooo short to worry about the "little stuff"... Thank goodness you have a s/o that apologizes and admits his errors!!

Yes, that he definitely does. Although sometimes you have to read between the lines. He doesn't always say the words "I'm sorry" but he'll do something out of the norm when he knows he's wrong. And I also have to remember that there are times when I lose it over dumb things, like the other week I was hollering because the dishwasher was loaded wrong, but I should have been glad that someone else put the dirty dishes in there in the first place. Needless to say now when someone else loads the dishwasher I don't complain or change nothing I just say "thank you very much" and walk away.

Yeah, I'd say he was out of line. It's good that he aplogized, I just hope for your sake it doesn't become a pattern. Blowing his cork and then apologizing. I agree with you. He should appreciate that you made dinner. Everyone fogets things at one time or another. I assure you, he will forget things too. Take care.
