| 23-9-2009 - What the hell is going on?! |
My mood while writing this blog: heart broken |
I dont know if the realization of having another child finally hit my husband or what, but for about a month now things have been slowly heading down hill between us. I reached my breaking point this morning and told him as far as I am concerned until he gets his head out of his a** or I find another place to live we are technically just roommates.
It started when he went out and bought the new Madden (football) game. All of a sudden all of his time was consumed by playing his friends. I thought after a week or so the novelty would wear off.. boy was I wrong!
My days now go something like this:
1. Get up extra early to get myself and Sophia ready so I can get her to the sitter and get myself to work on time.. No help from hubby cuz he was up half the nite playing games/watching tv.
2. Work a full time job.
3. Pick my daughter up because I get out 30 minutes earlier then him & run any errands that need to be done.
4. Get home- make dinner- make sure everyone is fed- clean up after dinner.
5. Bath time (while he is laying on the couch with his feet up watching sports)
6. Put Sophia in my bed to watch Dora & Diego before she goes to sleep while I run around trying to straighten up the house and put laundry on. (still lying on the couch with his feet up, drinking soda/eating chips & then leaving everything on the table because he seems to think it will grow legs and put itself away!)
7. Get Sophia to sleep and collapse into bed.
8. Wake up to Justin bitching that I go to sleep early now.
He also seems to have forgotten how to pick up after himself. He walks in from work and whatever accumulated in his pockets thru out the days end up dumped on the counter/table/dresser, etc. His work clothes stay where ever he ends up taking them off. His work boots and sneakers are strewn across my living room and there are tools EVERY WHERE!
As if his sudden laziness isnt bad enuf, he seems to be turning into his father! Everytime Sophia goes near him he starts yelling at her for something & it breaks my heart! All she wants to do is spend time with him & all he wants is to be a hermit... the big jerk! He used to tell me about how horrible it was being around his dad growing up because all he did is scream at him and his brother & sister, but now he is doing the same thing. Then he has the nerve to get upset when she wont go near him and clings to me. Hello?
I feel so lost, I cant figure out what is going on. Things were never like this before...
I plan on taking Fia to my parents house tonite and we will be staying there. I am praying this will be the wake up call he needs..

Thursday, 24 Sep OH SWEETHEART!!! I know al;l to well what it is like to go through a hard time with your man. It's hard to love some one and just want to beat them up all at the same time. :) I know nothing I can say will make your heart feel better but know tha I am thinking an dpraying for you! Hopefully he realizes what a good woman, mother and wife you are and will make sure he shows you the respect you deserve. Believe me this is a lesson I learned this week. :) R-N-E-Bump -
Thursday, 24 Sep You say this isn't normal for your husband? Is it possible he's freaking out about something and not sharing it with you? Like I know my husband freaked out silently when I found out I was expecting our second baby. He did a lot of what your husband is doing until I finally asked him if something was bothering him. It took a bit of coaxing but he finally opened up about a few things, we had a great discussion, and he was back to his old self the next day. I don't know if that's the case or not. But please know I'll be praying for you and your family. refinnejlee -

Wednesday, 23 Sep I am so sorry, but I had to giggle while reading your blog. This man is my EX-HUSBAND to a T. Even down to the way he was raised and reflected that behavior upon his 2 children. At least your works, my ex never did. He loved the EA Sports video games along with online porn, so I guess your situation could be worse however we should never settle for less in our lives. I was married for 12 years to man i never understood, never respected nor never even really loved! I am grateful we had the kids together, but I am so blessed to have found a wonderful man now. He is total opposite. He makes dinner, cleans, does laundry, rubs my back, takes walks with me and the dogs. I know he is going to be so good and helpful wit the baby. I am so Blessed! I hope happiness comes back around your way. I hope you don't stay with someone that won't give you the love, respect & help you deserve. Good Luck! cpalmer -
Wednesday, 23 Sep aww so sorry to hear hubby is bein a jerk! been there!!! i broke up with him before i found out i was pregnant with sav and it took until after she was born for him to smarten up and gets his act together, i sure hope he gets his head on straight hun! xxx hopefully3 -
Wednesday, 23 Sep i think you are doing the right thing.its hard to say dont pick up after him because you have to keep your daughter in a clean safe home. i think he really does need a wake up call. Men dont seem to really understand all the hard work we do. i know this is a difficult situation. Just stay strong and happy for your daughter. She will remember that. Good luck hun. My heart goes out to you. It will get better! katied716 -
Wednesday, 23 Sep Honey...I so know how you feel. My husband goes through this on and off and its PISSES me off so bad! Seriously..you just described my husband and from what I have read from other people, this seems to be pretty common, but it no way justifies his actions. I do everything as well and my daughter is all about her mommy...not so much daddy. He does get up a play with her, but on his time and his patience is very short. All I can tell you is to continue doing what you are doing. Don't pick up his clothes, you and Sophia get out and have special time together away from home, cherish this time you have with her and reassure her how much you love her. She can sense you are upset with your husband and it may start to affect her as well as all the other changes. I pick up dishes b/c I can't stand to have a dirty house, but I have refused to pick up, wash, or fold his clothes anymore. I do ONLY what is necessary to keep my daughter happy and her in a healthy, clean environment. I know its a lot easier said than done. Have you tried talking to him about it? Oh btw...not to self...NEVER buy games like that! I refuse to buy any for my husband and even made him get rid of this PS. :)
