Too sensitive??
| Sat, 03-13-2004 - 2:42pm |
My husband went out of town last night for a funeral (his aunt he didn't know. He is just supporting his mom - her sister). I called him the next morning just to say hi and when I told him I missed him he said "I haven't even been gone 24 hours yet.." in an annoyed tone. I didn't say anything and then he said, "I'll be home tomorrow," still in an annoyed tone. It hurt my feelings and when I told him he got annoyed with me. I got upset, so he got pissy with me. He said I was having an emotional breakdown even though I never even raised my voice with him. I was just trying to explain to him how I feel. I called him an insensitive jerk in return. Am I being too sensitive?

Good luck & I'm sorry he's not understanding your feelings! I hope he comes around!

Anyway I would try to make amends with him.
I was planning on going, but he didn't want me to go. Plus my mom had been planning to come visit at our home, so I stayed home to be with her (my mom offered to come at another time so I could go, but husband told me to stay) He doesn't even get along with that side of the family. He said if he has anything to do with it I will never meet them. Besides that, it was an8 hour drive. We have a 14 mo. old and the weekend would have been hard on him. He is just getting over a cold.
When we were getting off the phone he said some people he didn't know were showing up and he needed to be by his mom. I said okay and I love you and we hung up.
Do you think that maybe you took his tone the wrong way??
I am asking that because last week my DH was away on business for the first time in over a year.

If this isn't 'normal" behavior from him, then let it slide. Cut the guy some slack. He's got alot on his mind. He's got a funeral, mom to support, traveling, strangers to meet, details to monitor, and it sounds (since he doesn't want you to meet them) some dysfuntional family stress to add. He probably didn't get much sleep. It's hard to sleep in a different bed than you are used to. At home, MIL (that he isn't fond of) is coming to his house, the kid has been sick.
