Husband’s idiocy strikes again

Then book it yourself.

Why not book a room with two queen beds? I don’t get it!

Today, is my anniversary. Husband had the day off. I’m cooking tomorrow and we had nice dinner reservations tonight. Luckily only one guest coming over.

What did he do? He started work on the master bedroom closet renovation. Why today of all days? Only his brain knows the answer. I don’t even have a bed to sleep on. I canceled reservations and I’m moping on the swing set.

Just a vent and commiseration. I’ll try to be thankful for him tomorrow.

Why did you cancel reservations?

Because I hoped it would give him enough time to get our room in order for at least sleeping. Plus I’m pretty pissed? Disappointed? Frustrated?

Why are you upset? Why can’t you use your bed? I think it sounds great that he’s renovating the closet. What are you sad and disappointed about?

If you saw someone who had gotten into a car accident would you drive by and announce that you had not gotten into a car accident today? That's what you sound like

Needlessly hysterical? Undermedicated? Overmedicated?

I can’t imagine feeling the way OP feels about her husband and staying married. I couldn’t be married to someone I don’t respect, and clearly she doesn’t.

Go away. She’s fine to vent here

Since you didn't do that I'm wondering who really is the idiot here?

No, sorry. We’re not giving men free passes for learned helplessness anymore.

Ok. In my marriage my husband and I each did the stuff we were good at. It did not divide along sexist lines either. For instance, I mowed the grass, he sewed the curtains. Just one example.

Doesn't that make a bit more sense than ranting like a shrew on DCUM because your husband screwed up the hotel reservation?

Really? I have 8 and 11 year olds, and they say it’s not comfortable.

Petty. The word you’re looking for is, petty.

I don’t know why people come on here seeing it’s a vent thread and then call posters names, or flaunt their perfectly happy marriage. Go to the positivity thread.

Well I guess your own personal experience is the only valid experience and is universal. Get over yourself.

I get it, OP. A double (two queen beds) is much better than a king with a pull-out couch.

+1. It’s Thanksgiving and all OP wants to do is find another reason to call out her spouse in a public forum. Hope he dumps her by Christmas.

I can comiserate OP. Our teens are 17 and 15, and we haven't been able to get one room in ages. We used to do 2 beds and a rollaway, but those things are miserable! We suck it up and get 2 rooms.
