Husbands… do they get it sometimes!?
February 20, 2007
I love my husband more than anything in the world. We fell in love in college… dated for 3 years… got married… had 2 little boys… expecting another boy… we are extremely happy and extremely in love…
BUT…
Why is it that sometimes they say the most inappropriate things, that you truly just want to SCREAM!!!!!??????…
Maybe it’s partially the hormones raging through my body…
Maybe it’s the fact that I’m exhausted from running a company out of the house and raising 2 little boys…
Maybe it’s just him not having a clue!?
(I like the latter).
This past weekend… my husband went to a family wedding in Charlotte, NC. Well… since I’m 7 1/2 months pregnant and we live in RI… driving (it’s about 14/15 hours) and/or flying was out of the question for me.
I must add here… I truly love this family member who was getting married… and I wished upon wished I could have made it… but, my sons weren’t invited on top of everything else… and so, as most mommies know, you do what you have to do for your kids…
Well, during the evening of the wedding I get a post from my husband…
“Becky flew…”
Becky is one of his cousin’s who happens to be 7 1/2 months pregnant as well…
It just went up my BUTT the wrong way! I completely interpretated it as…
“Gee… how come Becky can fly but you can’t?”
I mean… was he trying to tell me that Becky is “stronger than me”… a “better mom than me”… not as “scared or nervous as me”?
Ahh… the RAGE began…
And I will say… in defense of my husband – he was sworn up and down… left and right… backwards and forwards that he didn’t “mean it like that”… and as his wife… I want to believe him because I love him so much…
BUT… I’m curious why do men – husbands in general – just NOT GET IT SOMETIMES!?
Or am I being irrational…. ?????
(Please not the latter!)
