I was LIVID at dh!!! (long)

[burgandy01]

Dh and I decided that tonight as soon as he got home, we'd pack everything for our 2 week trip. Tomorrow (friday) we are leaving at night so that the 14 hr. drive will hopefully be easier on Jared and also dh's 3 yr. old.

Then tonight dh came home and said "Sorry, I told everyone today at work that I was gonna bring shrimp fettucini tomorrow for the potluck". I said "Money is really tight for us, can't you bring something easier and less expensive"? "We HAVE to pack tonight because I want to leave as soon as you come home tomorrow (After 7PM). He said "no".

....So we go to the store to buy the ingrediants (took forever!) then he cooks it while I have the baby. (-----Mind you, I can't do anything when I have Jared awake.)

I SWEAR he was trying to go as slow as possible----when all he had was canned alfredo sauce and to boil water! 30 min. later I came in and he had only boiled the water with noodles, and was stirring the WHOLE time. I said "You don't have to stir the whole time and the noodles are done". He said "No...I have fun doing it this way (trying to get a rise out of me for being so slow and was whistling!)". He was being passive aggresive the whole time 'cause he knew I was PISSED. He said "What's the hurry?"..... " And how would you like it if I yelled at you everyday for the house not being clean enough?" He didn't have a care in the whole world and didn't finish 'till 10 PM, insisting he then had to go to bed early for work.

I was soooo mad I was shaking and totally was losing it---which is rare 'cause I'm always so even tempered and happy. I got things together as quick as I could---but I bet you anything we won't leave until LATE tomorrow night which will completely defeat the purpose of driving when Jared sleeps :evil: ! Sorry, I just had to let off some steam about this. Did I over-react?

I have a bad habit of trying to prove points so quite honestly, I would not have packed a thing and I would not pack a thing until he gets home from work tonight. Then I would try and do it while Jared is awake, since it will take you a lot longer to get it done, and I would be in no rush to do it. Then when you are driving with a cranky Jared I would make a point of telling him that this is quite clearly his doing. Had he stuck to the plans and helped you out the way he was suppose to then things could have been a lot more peaceful.

Now I know that would screw up your plans completely but it might drive home the point!

But that's just me :) I would be livid too.

I dont think you overreacted at all!! It seems like he was trying to get you all pissed off - that's just rude! :evil:

[rmacburn]

Men!! I don't think you over reacted... I would have been pissed too.

[EBNWriter]

I would have taken his pot of fettucine and thrown it in the trash, then packed and left w/o him. But I'm a *****.

So no, I don't think you overreacted at all. :)

[~*Meme*~]

I would have been pissed too!! Men suck!

[Mom-n-More]

I ditto Rhonda. Actually, what I would do is pack NOTHING and leave it all to him. I would just sit there and wait and wait and wait until he was finished with the packing and if he didn't do it, there would be no trip with him. And as he was packing I'd bark out orders about what needed to be packed. And I'd keep reminding him that if he forgets anything I would just buy it new on the road, no matter how expensive it is. And he would get no sex for a very very long time, either because I would be furious with him.

Men can be such idiots.
