...but it looks like I'm going to be busy taking care of things my husband got out of. If this man didn't adore me so much, I wouldn't tolerate this. I bust my azz around here & the kid does most of the cleaning to help me out.
Sure my wonderful husband took 4 months to build me an office and get every piece/box we store out of my living room just a couple days before Christmas.
Sure, I have a 6' 16 year old that doesn't seem to mind helping me out by going to the stores with me and helping carry the heavy stuff.
BUT that wasn't the fking deal when I decided to go back to work. The deal was that I do all the running on days I work since I'm already out. (No sense in going right past town, it is right on my way home.) Well, I gave away my shift at the barrel yesterday, so I guess that gives him license to stay up all fking night again (insert whine here) "But I couldn't sleep."
Well, guess who gets to do all the running now?
Guess who gets to do fking everything now?
I'd lay money that he'll be asleep within 10 minutes or so now that I'm up.
Like I'm so fking dumb that I can't see this is a fking pattern.
Rant over.
Have a nice Monday everybody.
I'll try to get everyone responded to today in between all this other bullsh|t that I shouldn't even have to be doing today.
OH WAIT!
I forgot to tell you how he got out of leaving yesterday.
We needed water, kerosene and celery (for turkey salad).
He boiled water for coffee, we ran electric heat, and we had turkey salad with no celery for SUPPER.
If it weren't for the kid, I wouldn't even deal with this sh|t. I'm not feeding this kid sandwiches two days in a row.
Ok, rant really over now.
Ladies & gentlemen, please feel free to share your marital/s-o irritations. I know I'm lucky for the most part. My hubs is pretty good to me for the most part, but right now, I'm really angry and feel like I'm being played. Spill it. Tell me what your other half does that really sets you off sometimes.
(I've just decided after these treks to the store, I'm done. I WILL be back here in a few hours.)

I don't have another half, lol.
I'll tell you about my parents though.
Mom's okay if she's not frustrated, she gets crazy when she's frustrated. Dad's Mr. Sloth these days. Sometimes, in a spur of the moment he'll suddenly do alot of stuff aound the house that needs done, but on the average day he won't do anything but work. He'll continue to buy milk, and we don't do any other shopping except once every two weeks..and he's not allowed to be in charge of that anymore 'cause he buys the same things every single time, and to eat the same things all the time..that's not good for the family's diet.
Anyways..
Dad would be really romantic and stuff with Mom, but she's often frustrated aka crazy, which is the point where dad tunes everything out and then everything goes to poot around here lol.
I dunno...you could discuss it with him if it happens t much more often, I guess?

"I don't have another half, lol."
GOOD for you! hahahaha
I feel your mom & dad for real.
"she gets crazy when she's frustrated"
Story of my life, but working to correct that.
I was a little bit half past crazy when I was on earlier, lol. Most relationships get tested, and it sounds like your mom and dad have managed to pass those tests thus far.
I'm slowly getting over it (redheaded flare temper and whatnot). The hubs made the kid clean out my car & sort of helped...and topped off my oil. Since I lived through most of the errand running so far, I suppose I'll be over it soon.
Discuss it?
hahahahahaha
No need in explaining that one.
Many men have a habit of telling their wives/girlfriends whatever will shut them up for the moment then claim we are "being a d|ck" when we hold them to it. I have other ways of "discussing it" indirectly. Apparently he knows he pissed me off, my car go cleaned out. lol

Aww, well at least you're working to correct it.
It's good to hear you're getting over it too, and that he figured out you were a bit mad at him.
Well, that's a good way to communicate then I think! And lots smarter than the verbal stuff which always gets blown off heh.

I've got no rant for you since I'm in no relationship or anything like what you described. I feel your pain though.

Now that most of the running around is done (still gotta run 3 towns over to my oldest son's later on), I'm close to getting over it. It's days like today that put relationships to the test. Thanks (as always) for being here for me, Gamer.

My other half really upsets me sometimes, particularly as I do almost everything, the shopping, the cleaning, although I do work so She does take the kids to the school and nursery for the little one, she does seem to blame me for the rut that she has found herself in, although I tried to make her do some things like a course or something that she wanted to do, she declined and now that I am working full time (for at least 4 years now! she complains that she is stuck in with the kids while I am free to go out and work (like work is total freedom!!!)
I did plan for this year to be different, I found her a nice little thing to do on the internet that she said she would like to get involved in, but as she is so underconfident and also dyslexic too she is so not wanting to do or take any action to better herself, while I do also take into consideration that different people come from different backgrounds of social and rubbish schooling, it just pisses me off, that she does not want to try.
Mind you I also realise it's best not to mess with the mrs as she is a black belt in Karate...taught me some moves and I've got some injuries to prove it...ouch my poor back!!
