I just have to Vent

Nov 04, 2009 03:00PM - 14 comments

I'm so irritated with Richie, he calls me at work and asks me where the oil and vinegar is.  Meanwhile he goes food shopping and buys this tiny bottle of olive oil and expects it to last a lifetime.  Then now he's mad because I didn't tell him there was none left.  It finished last night, when "I" was cooking because usually he never cooks.  So I planned on buying a big bottle tonight when I got home.  So he told me I should have atleast told him that there was none left and he wouldn't of ordered a salad with his meal.  Not that he's cooking but he wouldn't of ordered something.  Now I would be wrong if I told him, good now you know how it feels not to be told something was finished.  Like when I step into the shower and there is no soap or when he finishes all the gel that we share and doesn't say a word, or when he uses the last bit of shampoo and leaves the empty bottle in the shower but doesn't inform me that he finished it.  Or when he uses all the detergent the last time he did laundry and doesn't share that info when I go to do it.  But it's ok when he does it to me but when I do it to him, because all of a sudden he's using oil, then I'm the worst person in the world.  Now should I hold in my anger or spew forth all my anger onto him about when he does it?

ugh men! lol just brush it off sweetie, telling him all the things he does to you is just going to make this into a giant fight. sometimes as women we just have to hold our tounges because we know when its worth it and when its not. i think this is one of those things that u b itch at to ur friends and just let it go...but next time he does it to you..you can be like "richie why didnt u tell me we were out of laundry soap?!" "remember how bad it bothered you when i didnt tell you about the olive oil?" but wait until it comes up because if u bring up all these things now he'll just deny it all and get mad. but i dunno thats just me, i find avoiding fights at all costs is more comfortable for me. i dont want my man to walk all over me but if its a small thing that just bugs me than ill call my mom and b itch then ill take a deep breath and get over it.

That's exactly why I wrote here because I bite my tongue all the time cause frankly it would lead to a stupid fight.  I just hate that he acts like I killed his favorite pet or something.  I'm human and when I do just about EVERYTHING, I tend to forget some things.  He forgets things and all he really worries about is himself.  This vent is coming off of a bad night last night.  He got home from work at 9:30 and comes in a sits his lazy a$$ on the couch.  I told him that there was food there but it just had to be warmed up.  I was on the couch reading my now favorite book "New Moon", and had just started since I finally got our almost 2 year old to sleep.  So he sits there and ignores me and had a little attitude when I would talk to him, so I ignored him and told him he can watch his f-ing movie while I read my damn book.  So he says he's ready for bed and we go to bed and he wants me to turn over so he can cuddle with me, which is fine but I wasn't ready to turn that way and he sighs like he's mad.  So I asked what was wrong and he goes into this whole song and dance about how I usually serve him his food and tonight I'm so into my book that I don't care and he's tired from work and he repeated that to me and it didn't sink in with me.  He basically set himself up at that point because I went off on him telling him that how dare he get upset because I'm into my book, that he had no problem with my book when I leave him alone to watch his stupid movies but now that I didn't serve him he's upset.  I said first off, you're a grown man who has two hands and can serve himself, second, I worked to and still had to come home, cook dinner, play with our son, get our son ready for bed, put him to sleep, which left me about an hour worth of time so that I can come and read my book, my only friggin enjoyment.  So I work a 9 hour day, do all that and what?  I'm expected to jump up and serve you dinner?  I said, when I work all day and you don't have any night clients, you don't even bother to cook dinner, you don't help with Jayden and I'm still expected to do all that.  One damn time I actually have found something that I find interesting and that's all mine, he has to try and be a jacka$$ about it.  It's not like he works a straight day, he gets to come home and take an hour nap or download songs on the iPod.  Well after that fire flew out of my mouth, I guess he realized there was no winning that argument and he just went to sleep.  Smart guy because if he had continued it would've resulted in him sleeping on the couch.

We sure do....I couldn't imagine how they get away with it.  I think peek asked the same question in her journal.

Lol Jezi, I couldn't help but laugh at your blow out at his complaint of not serving him! I'd say you won that argument, hands down!

Just stick a " To Buy" list on the fridge and when ya run out of somethin, write it on the list. Whoever goes to the store next is responsible for buying it. lol

Now, getting him to write it on the list? That is another issue!

Lol that's for sure Teko.

Isn't it just the little things that drive us crazy?!?  I agree, things that they do ALL THE TIME, if WE do it, it is a huge deal and they get upset about it.  We go, "Oh that's ok" and *they* go on and on and on with their complaints.  How irritating!!  I hope you feel better for venting. = )

I'm with Teko, I have a grocery list going and when the question is ask, " Are we out of such and such?" Is it on the list, if not , oh well! I explained you, need to write it or it will not be bought.

Oh! Miami, I would not get his food!  You are absolutely right! He is an able bodied person and he can do things for himself. You don't cut this out now, you'll become the a$$$$ wipe!!! Take it from me I live with 3 of these men.

This just irks me! Standing at the pantry, asking "Where's the syrup?"  If you would just bend down you would see it on the 3rd shelf. Men carry on like the item should just stand up and walk to them. This for me, is aggrevating, along with the tiolet thing , the toothpaste thing, and the bread wrapper etc. LOL
