[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Wow, what a bunch of control freaks. So typical of DCUM. OP did it ever occur to you that the problem is that just because you TOLD him to do something it does not require that it be done right away? He's not a child. Nothing you mentioned was an emergency or time-sensitive. God forbid the laundry get done on ::gasp:: Monday! Just because you want the litter box cleaned out RIGHT now does not require your DH to obey your every command. Stop treating him like a child and perhaps he will stop acting like one. Why don't you try treating him as an equal partner and see how that works out. [/quote]

I’m a woman and I 100% agree. I’m also childless by choice, but that’s kind of another tangent.

My first thought was that he really didn’t do anything that bad. So he didn’t handle the litter box immediately. You barely gave him a chance to and assumed it wouldn’t get done, so you had a meltdown. He didn’t want chicken soup, so if you didn’t feel like cooking something else, simply say so. “Honey I’m really tired and I need to lay down. Go on and make yourself whatever you want.” Not hard to respond in a not-snippy way, really. If he whines about his phone or whatever, let him whine. I usually direct my DH to YouTube or google for things like that. Honestly, I can see your DH posting here being like “if I don’t do exactly what DW wants the moment she requests it, she flips out. I feel like I have to walk on eggshells around her because she’s always mad about something.” You need to lighten up. I get that you’re sick but it sounds like it’s just making you more testy than usual. I sure hope you don’t treat him like this all the time. [/quote]
