It's been 9 weeks since I had the baby and things have been somewhat stressful. There's been a lot of changes and I dont know if I'm handling them well. My husband walked off his job 2 weeks after the baby was born, Ive been taking care of step kids from the beginning of the summer while I was at the end of my pregnancy..there was no time to myself or for us as a couple. Things have been really tight financially (of course) and now, with the Skids gone, we still have no money or time to be husband and wife, even if only for a few hours.

Just about an hour ago we had a major blowout argument. He wanted to go watch a local high school football game with the 2 oldest kids, and I was to stay home with the baby. It was another Friday night that I stay home while he goes to a football game. Now, don't get me wrong..Im not bothered that he wanted to go, but I think after being cooped up in the house for nearly a year now with little money, I guess a part of me wanted to be included in being invited to the game. I felt a bit left out but also, I felt like it would be a nice change of scenery. Well, I said something to him and he got really mad and said that he wasn't going anymore...that he would just drop the kids off and come home. I though, " WTF? I didn't ask for you NOT to go..I simply said I would like to have been invited since we haven't been able to go and do something outside of the house in about 4-5 months!"

He ended up cussing me out saying, " Oh I guess I cant do ANYTHING - huh? You need to grow up! You go get your nails done and run errands but I cant go to a football game and do something I like?" Then, he hung up on me. When he got home he said, " I apologize for hanging up but not for anything else I said. You make me feel like I cant go anywhere or do anything because you do this all the time!"

I couldnt believe he accused me of that! I NEVER said anything like this until tonight. He goes fishing frequently..and I stay with the baby. He forgot my 6 week postpartum check up (after asking 5-6 time that week)to go fishing. I had to bring the baby with me for that ( she screamed as I lay in stirrups). I didnt get angry about that...How can he compare me taking an hour to get my nails done to him going to a football game. Uhh, getting my nails done is NOT entertaining...like a football game. I guess I just wanted to spend time with him out of the house and not costing us an arm and a leg.

Why is he acting like this and flipping it on me? Am I wrong? Am I being a bitch or selfish?
