[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Just to be clear, he was talking about his “father’s family jewels,” apparently some family jewels he received after his father passed away.

Guess he lost them and thought I should help find them, while he was sitting on the couch drinking wine and I was making dinner.

And yes, I think making dinner after nine hours of work IS a big deal, especially when I‘m the only one doing the cooking and cleaning. Meanwhile DH spent a couple hours at the gym, then plopped on the couch sipping wine inquiring about his family jewels. [/quote]
Remember when you asked him if he wanted to get dinner and he said no, so you offered to cook? And then, while you were cooking, he asked if you needed help, but you let him off the hook because he was daunted by what you asked of him? You abdicated any right to complain about being the only one cooking after 9 hours of work. Why did his question set you off? It was unreasonable for you to curse and complain under your breath rather than telling him you couldn’t concentrate on where the jewels might be while cooking, and asking if you could discuss it over dinner. I’m glad you apologized, as that was the right thing to do, but if this isn’t an isolated incident, then you two have some real issues to work on. You’re both engaging in behavior that is damaging to a marriage. If you don’t have kids yet, do not introduce a baby to the equation until these issues are resolved, because dinner will still have to be prepared after 9 hours of work, but you’ll have much many more domestic chores and also be much more exhausted.[/quote]

Yeah, no. I’m smart enough to not have a child with a man baby AND work full time. [/quote]
