My DH was so nasty...

[magicmouse2]

I was standing in the store holding some heavy goods. He was talking on his phone. I kept beckoning him as I was getting tired. He has been stressed at work recently. He just snapped and swore at me! I was so mad. Anyway I had made him his favorite dinner which was ready for when he got home. So when we got in I fed his dinner to the dog who enjoyed it very much. He has since apologised but I am still angry with him. I am also angry at myself for spending all that time cooking a meal which the dog got!I just had to vent! Am I the only one who has ever done this ?

I have to guess there is more to the story.

Under those circumstances, seems you over-reacted big time. I would never have reacted to a bad mood in that way, just as I hope my husband and kids would cut me some slack if I snapped at them.

I hope that your day gets better, and that you two get things worked out.

 

[newmousecateer2]

Good for you for feeding the dinner to the dog! I am sorry you are so angry with him, but I just love what you did!

No, I have not done that, but we just got our puppy a few months ago, so no telling if it will happen in the future or not.

 

[Cantw8]

I have never done THAT but I will certainly keep it in mind

 

[ncgolfer]

Geez, overreated just a bit I think. At least he's out working trying to help support his family.

 

[magicmouse2]

I tried not to react except for asking for an apology. I would never swear at him. He was extremely childish. Whats worse is that the kids were with us. I have said that he should apologize to them. I will probably forgive him tomorrow. The dog loves me now.

 

[tiger95]

Sounds like an over-reaction considering the circumstances you described.

I may have over reacted but I am not used to my DH using that sort of language towards me. It was not a minor swear word I tell you. And yes he is working to support the family but, I work the same hours as him and have a more pressured job, but never ever take it out on him.

2 wrongs dont make a right even if it made you feel better
would you want you children to retaliate against someone who did something to them stupid by doing something stupid. Maybe you both owe the children an apology because they will learn by example.

Does the OP not support the family too?

I'm glad you let your dh know he was acting like a neanderthal, magicmouse2. I don't think you overreacted at all, but I think your dh did.

 

[Michie]

Don't feel bad magicmouse2. One time I dumped my DH out on the side of the road and made him walk the rest of the way home. He wouldn't stop touching the glass in my vehicle, which he knows is a pet peeve of mine. Asked him to stop, he wouldn't. Told him several times if he didn't stop messing with my glass he was walking the rest of the way.


Michie<---whose DH now rides in my vehicle with his hands bound

 

[CheshireVal]

I don't think you overreacted. It's a little disrespectful of your husband to swear at you... it would totally hurt my feelings, too!!!

 

[Maleficent13]

I can't decide if it was an overreaction unless I know what he said. If he said something along the lines of "Shut the *^&% up", then you can bet that dog would love me forever. If was something less offensive, like "darn" it, then I would have just dropped the heavy stuff on his foot and been content.

 

[Crankyshank]

I don't think you over reacted. I'd probably swear back at him and give him spaghettios for dinner if my DH made a scene in the grocery store. It's one thing to snap at home because you're tired and stressed, but to humiliate you in public is totally uncouth.

So it is okay for her to act in a very childish manner because he was rude and disrespectful? Not my idea of appropriate at all.

 

[magicmouse2]

It was more like the first thing you said, in an agressive tone Maleficent13. I Was hurt and shocked too. I agree 2 wrongs dont make a right and it was a bit silly of me after all that hard work I put into making the meal, but the satisfied look on the dogs face said it all. The irony is that we were in the pet food store to purchase dog food

 

[babar]

Oh come on! I'm sure we've all reacted childishly before. He made you mad, you got back at him. It happens!

 

[CajunDixie]

Geez, overreated just a bit I think. At least he's out working trying to help support his family.

So all men that work to help support their families can act like jerks in public to their spouses? Get real!!!!

I'd have dropped the heavy item and walked out of the store and gone home...whether or not he was in the car.

 

[HisEllyNelly]

I dont think you over reacted. I think I will keep that one in mind for future reference.
