I just need to vent..



I noticed when my husband works all day then sometimes goes out for drinks with his buddies and doesnt get home til around 7 or 8pm its ok and I should have no reason to be upset that I cooked dinner and he didn't tell me a head of time he would be out late, meaning he is gone from the house from 8am-8pm and I am home with little one. Or he will take his boys or friends to the OU football game on saturdays and be gone for 6 or 7 hours, its fine no problem.



Oh but yesterday I took my niece to the state fair and was gone from 1:15-6:30pm and he was texting me 'Well Ill eat dinner by myself" granted I put food in the crockpot and it was done by around 5pm. He was angry but didnt say anything. He also made a comment that "I was gone for 6 hrs..blah blah blah" OOOHHH pisses me off, when he does that...I talk to him about it, he just acts like I am out doing something crazy or that I shouldnt be.



Any similar situations?? It's a guy thing, but I think going out drinking at Hooters or Louie's is alot worse than the fair with my niece or going to my parents house..oh and they go to Hooters for the chicken fingers and wings..YEAH RIGHT, I may be blonde but I'm not nieve..lol Hooters is not a family friendly restaurant its a pick up bar for waitresses! I should know I worked there when I was 22!!

It's just a pure mental control thing. If you stand up to him and keep doing what you're doing i.e going out doing what YOU want to do and let it be known his attitude is NOT getting to you, he will learn you have grown balls and you're not to be controlled. Its a jealous, insecure trait which most men carry and women for that matter. Just be patient and don't let it get to you he will soon learn. And if he goes to the pick up bar for waitresses with his buddies, it doesn't mean HE is doing the picking up, maybe him and his mates are trying to set someone up. You need to have a little bit more faith in him. If you found any other evidence to support your theory then yeah neck him with the whole lot of information you have found out. But if you get on at him about it whether he has or hasnt doen anything wrong you will find yourself losing him, probably for good. it seems like you both have insecuriy issues that you really need to sort out, but only you can sort yourself out as only he can sort himself out. if it doesnt work then its a relationship not meant to be. and you should learn from this and move on.

I always tell my hubby, "I'll be home sooner or later."

I would say that you just need more communication. If someone isn't going to be home for dinner, they should have the respect to tell the other person. If your husband is going out for drinks, he should tell you that he's going out for drinks, go ahead with dinner, I'll eat when I get home. On the same note, when you went to the fair, you should have told your husband, I'm going out to the fair, dinner is in the crockpot since I won't be home until after dinner.

lol men are such babies sometimes. lol I think it's the male ego that expects their women to be home with the children, cooking, cleaning and waiting for them. Let him have his "fits". It's not fair that he gets to have his "boy" time and expect you to be alright in the house all the time. I did it for years and it drove me bananas. Never realized how crazy four walls can make you feel when you look at them 24 hours a day. lol Either he'll get the hint to stay home with you, take you out, or come home without spending a full day out.

Maybe you 2 need some time together every once and awhile? Without the kid(s). Reconnect and talk it out.

Amen!! I hear ya girl. My hubby is the same way he can do what he wants to do but when I want to do anything I have to bring a kid with me or only be gone 10 minutes. He is all the time txting me or calling me with the where are yous what are you doing? I never get to do anything and if I do and even if I find a babysitter to watch one or two of our kids (we have three) then he still gets mad about it. Saying it makes him look bad that he aint taking care of his kids. It is not that I am trying to make him look bad I am just trying to make it easier for him to only have one of them. I have talked and talked and talked to him about it and it will get better for about a week then its right back to where we were. Has got to be a guy thing we are the moms and we are supposed to do it all. From watching the kids changing the diapers feeding bathing getting up in the middle of the night EVERYTHING not to mention the carrying them fo rthe nine months and labour!!
