Hubby visiting Louisiana

Tweet

As many of you know my husband went down to Louisiana the last day of January. He does not drive because of a back injury, so he rode the bus. He does this every year, that is his home and he is up here with me because of Hurricane Katrina. Well he has been coming home since the middle of September, but he does not want to ride the bus back, he is looking for another way that he don't have to spend all those hours on a bus. He ask for me to drive down and get him, first we don't have the money, second my truck needs work, third I am too old and sick to make that 1000 mile trip. I ask for him to be here by the second week of November as I wanted to do something with my 2 sons and daughter, he did not make it. I made it clear that I wanted him here by Thanksgiving, once again he did not make it. We have a dog and a cat that I can not just walk out of the house and leave. He does not call very often, something about using someone else's phone and them complaining. I had not heard from him in 8 days last week when I told him that I was going to the doctor to have test done. He never called back to ask what they found, but was in a barroom with his nephew for 2 nights while visiting him. The barroom thing does not bother me as it is owned by his first cousin and all his relatives were there for the grand opening and Thanksgiving dinner. He does not run barrooms, just this was a family thing, and believe me they got big mouths that would be on the phone immed. to let me know any thing he done. He called last Tuesday, 8 days after I last talked to him, and his attitude was shi*t. So I ask him why we had not heard from him and he started, I was not nice to him on the phone as I feel he did not care enough to call back and get the results of the breast cancer tests that I was having done. I said how many nights you beenin the barroom with Don, he said 2 and I said that was more important to you than calling up here to see if I am still alive and he did not answer. He said that he is trying to get here but can't get a ticket. Yes I could send him the money, but it was his family that insisted he come down there and I feel it is his family responsibly to get him home. When he laughed and said 2 nights, I said well since that is more important to you than me, you are done here, and I hung up. I know the man that he was with, he is a great guy and I know if he was crying about my wife is sick and I need to go home he would of already put him on a bus. He relayed a message with this man's mother that when I wanted him to come home I would call and be nice to him. WHY is my question, do you think I am being unreasonable. He is determined to not ride that bus back and that someone is coming after him. So what do you think should I call and be nice or just let him sit and stew. He didn't care that I needed him here the second week of Nov. so that I could do something or even Thanksgiving, so why shold I be nice. I think he needs to reconsider his priorities and get his behind home, or just stay there and leave me with peace eithe way I have begun to not care what he does. So you tell me call or not call.
