All marriages go through ups and downs.
You are either crazy or not married if you don't think so.
So lately with all of my stress I'm not liking my husband.
I love him but don't like him.
He's my whole heart but driving me insane.
I would do anything in the world for him and our family.
I'm convinced he is purposely pushing my buttons lately.
Yes on purpose that's what I said.
I may ban questions in our house.
Seriously... my brain is on overdrive as it is.
Really why ask me dumb things that clutter up space?
Here's a perfect example for you ladies...
(Iron sitting next to me) Are you ironing something?
Really is that necessary?
I may just flip out at any given moment fair warning!
Ask me another dumb question?
Do it I dare you. ( evil laughter )
Isn't it bad enough that I hear "Why?" all day long.
Then from my dad "What time did you say your meeting was?"
I only told you three times yesterday.
Please everyone let's just stop the questions for a while.
Imagine my husband walking through the door after working.
Imagine my husband walking through the door after working.
"Did you just get home?"
I may try this tonight just for the fun of it.
I should count the number of questions I get in one day.
I get it I'm the glue. I'm home all day with our kids.
I love my family and my role but mama is needing a break.
Or just a break from the questions.
Maybe some answers would be nice.
I think you need to ask him a bunch of obvious questions! Maybe he'll get the hint!
ReplyDeleteo the glory of this message!!! I am with you darling! I promise they are everything to us but man they seem to jump on every nerve when we are feeling the most vulnerable! wouldn't it be nice to just have a quiet day and be able to accomplish just half of what we intended! Hang in there Beth Ann and pick up the phone if you need me momma! lol this post seriously hit home today! =) Love you
ReplyDeleteHa! I feel your pain. Mine does the same thing. I usually get home from work at 1 pm. A number of times I came home an hour earlier and it never failed... "Did you get out early?" Really??!? What gave it away? The fact that I am home earlier than usual? *sigh*. Sometimes I wonder if it is just the need to talk and he isn't sure what to say.
ReplyDeleteI've been married 8 years and have never experienced this with my husband. Maybe your husband just asked the question wrong. Maybe he wants to talk to you and was wondering what you're ironing, wanting to know about what you're doing, how your day was. And to Sarah, maybe your husband was inquiring WHY you're home early? I really dont understand when people say marriage is work...I really believe it should be easy... maybe i'm the only one? lol
ReplyDeleteThis is so true. We all go through times like this. Thing is.. if you're in the down part, only one way to go!
ReplyDeleteoh man. I SOOOO hear you clucking.
ReplyDeleteI understand where you're coming from, but I know there are times that I annoy him too, so I try to keep that in mind and not make a big deal of it. And really, he is so patient with me when I fly off the handle about things that don't really matter in the big scheme of things, so I try to return the favor, even when I'm counting to 10 in my head. :-) Hope things get better for you soon!
ReplyDeleteI know how you feel. Of late mine has been driving me INSANE! Last night I gave myself a time out cause I was ready to smack him. I don't get why they ask stupid questions. Especially OBVIOUS questions with an obvious answer. Husbands...lol
ReplyDeleteOh man, I needed to read this.. Really can relate in a way right now!

totally agree...after being home all day with our son...my husband just grates on me for the weirdest/dumbest/most obvious questions..."i love him but don't like him" is so true!
ReplyDeleteI cannot even explain how much I love this post. And completely needed to hear it!!! Thank you for having the courage to be honest and talking about this when lots of other people probably wouldn't. I love it!
ReplyDeleteLOLOL...I love this post! I've been married for 21 years, and yes, I get dumb questions too! Sometimes, I think the guys don't know what to say or ask us. They try though, and I'm so glad they do!
