[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][b]Family should be the safe harbor away from stresses. It's not your husbands fault you're having a bad week and he shouldn't have to pay for it.[/b] You could have said "I'm almost home home and I'm having a bad day, is there any way we can do without that item and I'll get it tomorrow?" Then go from there. [b]Treat people the way you want to be treated. [/b]If someone you admired saw you treat your husband that way, wouldn't you be embarrassed? If so, then don't do that when no one is watching. Treat your husband with the respect you want in return.[/quote]

I remember when the company I was working for went bankrupt and it was a matter of when not if I would be laid off, I was very stressed.  Emotionally I was coping with anxiousness about money and finding a new job.   In addition, there was this sense of betrayal that you could work your butt off (and I had just worked overtime over the holidays getting must done last minute system changes completed) and get laid off thru no fault of your own while the folks at the top that got the company into the mess would have payouts.  So although I was upset, I realized as pp said that my family should be the safe harbor.  Jobs come and go and they will replace you/lay off people in a heartbeat. I was fortunate to have a wonderful husband and amazing kids (even though they drive me crazy some time) and didn’t want to lose sight of that.

I don’t agree with your DH saying you were selfish from a communication standpoint that rather than calling a name/saying you are like that as a person it should be about the behavior and the impact on him.  However I do agree with him that you don’t get a pass to treat him crappy.[/quote]
