But it’s affected my husband 2x now and he is rightfully really irritated with me. What do you do when you are in this situation? Obviously I’ve apologized but now I am in the dog house and will be for a while. I hate myself.[/quote]

OP, I will call your attention to the language in your original post. You expect that your husband will punish you for A WHILE because you made a mistake that is irritating and frustrating but not actually catastrophic in any way.

Look closely at your relationship. It sounds like your husband is a bully. Ask yourself - if a person I loved made this mistake, how would I react? Would I treat a loved one the way my husband treats me?

(My dad is like your husband. My mom, beaten down over the years, is sure she is incompetent even though she is wildly more capable and functional than many, many people. But my dad seizes on her mistakes and has done a number on her self esteem. It's a terrible feeling, to feel like you won't receive empathy or grace from your partner.)[/quote]
