Feeling so Blah about DH -- caution, a long drawn out bitch fest

Maybe it's because he "misunderstood" me and invited his friend on our weekend away this weekend.

Maybe it's because he knew the only thing I wanted to do this weekend was get a massage and relax. (
None if which happened and dd8 mo was sick and I was up all might with her puking on me while he watched YouTube videos on his phone)

Maybe it's because that even though I was able to get BMs sister to get a hotel for her visit and a rental car but he still thinks it's necessary for her to call him when her plane arrives so "we" can go pick her up from the airport and can take her to a place to rent a car - even though she's a 32 year old woman and can rent her own car at the airport and then give us a call when she checks into the hotel.

Maybe it's because every time I try to let him know what I need, what is upsetting me or what my boundaries are, he thinks I'm starting a fight and starts yelling.

Maybe it's because I'm flying across the country tomorrow for day 1 of a new job where I'll be making nearly 50% more than I currently do. Maybe it's because this new job will pay 5-10 times more than what his average earnings have been the past 5 years.

Maybe it's because that even though he is currently playing the role of stay at home dad, he can't seem to get breakfast dishes done before dinner, can't make it to the grocery store on his own ( but will be happy to tag along with me if I mention I'm going), and can't get a load of laundry done. Ever.

Maybe because my pms us through the roof and I'm 8.5 months post partum.

He's happily snoring away... I'm taking care of baby who still isn't 100% and stressing about my trip. Alternately, he must be exhausted about making the kids' lunches in the morning.

He a stay at home and you're the one getting up with the baby? WTF?

Wow, from all these interesting things, I'm surprised you just feel blah about him. I think I'd be in the find a frying pan and whack him repeatedly mindset. Of course he's snoring happily away, he's got a damn cushy set up going. He's the stay at home parent that gets his working spouse to take care of more than 50% of the house stuff too. And this is where sister wives really come from - women hearing this stuff and going Damn! I need my own wife!

Thank you!!!! I need to hear this this morning.

I got out of the car at the airport an burst into tears. I just feel awful about leaving my baby.

He should be doing absolutely everything in your household so you can focus on your job...Me, he is lazy and I would be plotting an exit strategy, because this is not something I want to continuously battle.

If he isn't going to do the 'part' of stay at home dad, then have him get a job and use his paycheck for a good nanny.
