What is it with men?!

Good girl!!! My gosh with him working that many hours when can he pee let alone sleep???? It great that you talked and worked it all out.

I always liked what Dr. Phil says (if I can say it the right way...LOL) "When two people are married, they should wake up each morning and say to themselves...what can I do today to make my wife/husband's day a good one." I like that.

I love that quote/advice, too!!!! I think me sucking up and taking care of Lamar and not complain about it would definately help my hubby's days better. When he is working that much, the last thing he wants to do is wake up in the middle of the night to take Lamar out...he needs his sleep. I have been getting at least 9 hours a night...I think I can afford to interrupt my beauty sleep to take Lamar out.

I just got home and read this thread. So glad that you worked this out so well. Sounds like both of you were tired and not meaning to hurt each other. Your solution sounds great under the circumstances. Come here to vent anytime to spare hubby the upset. Sounds like he is working very hard for your future!!!

We both get very cranky when we are tired. He works so incredibly hard, and yes, it is for our future and so one day I can stay at home with our children and possibly not have to work. I should definately cut him some slack because he is a wonderful husband.

I just need to vent sometimes. Thanks, gals, for being so sweet and listening to my banter.

Hubby is taking me on a date 2nite because he has a night off and we have both been on edge all week and we need a night to reconnect.

Rebecca, I admire your great communication and efforts in your relationship. What a lucky man!!! Way to be on 'graveyard' duties...as I know how much they suck! How was the date???

RLC12345678 · 01-27-2007, 02:30 PM

The date was nice. It was nice to have some alone time with my hubby without all the distractions of the dogs.

Gina · 01-27-2007, 05:22 PM

Rebecca, I just read your thread , I am happy that you both got a date night out.

As far as what you posted about your frustrations, it can be very, but your hubby is working alot of hours. I can understand him being tired and not wanting to wake up in the middle of the night. My advice to you is when he is off and not working such long hrs. compromise let him take over the responsiblity that night to give you a break. Just keep the communication open at all times and you will work things out.

I agree, Gina. Just because he is working more hours should not relieve him of ALL responsibility to his dog. We discussed this over dinner and when his schedule gets a bit lighter (which it should in a couple of weeks), he's going to start taking over a lot of the responsibility for Lamar.
