This just set women back 100 years!

Most of you who have read my blogs know my DH's beliefs & attitude, especially given the most recent blogs I've posted. This morning's insight on his part just set women back 100 years - just when I think I've heard it all, out pops another little gem.
We're still going through a really tough time right now, I'm pretty much just biding my time until I can get everything together. However, I have tried to talk to him about our problems, feelings and even printed out a list of counselors in our area that are approved by my insurance. This morning out of the blue DH states (and I quote!) "There would be alot less divorces if women would just go back to submitting and obeying". Yep, I about choked on my coffee! My response other than laughing my ass off was 'when you decide to get off your ass, get a job and I can quit mine, then we'll talk about it', lol! The sad thing is he was serious! Not gonna happen in this life time, at least not with me! His momma may follow those rules, but I'm not anybody's servant.

He really wasn't like this 3+ yrs ago - it started about a year ago & he's gotten so much worse just the last 6 months - maybe it's medical? I dunno - just when I can tolerate the crap with the skids, DH goes effing nuts - go figure!

Yeah it's medical.he has a big fat chauvinistic hole in his head caused by overdose of testosterone.

I've already offered to quit as soon as he gets another job that will support us in the style we're used to - not gonna happen. He's bitching at me about "his" money in our savings account - he got a settlement from work. I keep reminding him that I had quite a chunk of change in the bank too before we got together. Also reminded him that he refused to pay any of our expenses when he first moved in up to a couple of months after we were married - I footed the bill for everything including wedding, reception, right down to the new clothes we both purchased for our trip.

I told him to take the freakin money out of savings and do whatever he wanted with it but to keep in mind, if he continued to live with me, I expected 1/2 of EVERY expense to be paid on the first of the month, EVERY month, including his health insurance which is taken out of my paycheck twice a month. The only expenses I would be solely responsible for were my dogs and my SUV. He would have sole responsibility of paying his car payment, which is half the payment of my SUV. When I started adding up the monthly expenses and what he would have to fork over, he started getting pissed; imagine that!

According to him, I'm 'controlling' - maybe if he had been a little more assertive when it came to taking care of things and making his brats mind instead of giving in to their every whim, he might know how to manage money.

Good comeback!! Lots of men are seriously forgetting what it's like to be Providers, since women began to play that role. But "submitting and obeying"?? Even if the men are "providing", that's pushing it back to the dark ages for real!

But hey, if you're providing, maybe he should be the one "submitting and obeying". LOL. Smile
