I no longer know how I feel about my husband...
Our Anniversary is coming up in few days and we had a nasty argument last night. We're not talking at all right now. I'd really like to get other people's opinions on something....in case the issue really is "me". Last night is a good example: We were at a church family night festival and our son had a stomach ache (he's 4 and simply ate too much food and candy). Our son made a face and grabbed his stomach - naturally, we decided it was time to take him home. My husband picked up our son and walked out ahead while I gathered our other 3 kids and followed. My husband (without saying anything to me) took our son and just left. Without the rest of us. He knew that we were coming out, but it took me an additional minute or two (literally) to grab everything. He later told me that he didn't want to wait for us, rather he wanted to get our son home - okay, I totally understand that if someone is really sick, but our little man just had a tummy ache and he was fine the rest of the night. Could my husband really not have waited the extra minute, or have said something to me - out of courtesy? Does that seem like too much to ask? I had to call him on his cell phone and ask him if he planned to come back and pick us up and when I tried to tell him how it bothered me that he just left us there, he told me that he didn't have time to talk to me and hung up on me (later when I told him that I didn't appreciate it, he told me that I had finished talking first - that he didn't hang up on me and continued to argue with me about it until I told him just to leave me alone). I know it may sound petty, and maybe it is, at this point I don't know, but it hurt my feelings and he doesn't get it. I can't talk to him about the problems in our marriage, because it always turns into a fight and I'm usually the bad guy in the end. Thoughts?? I sure could use them! Thank you!
