[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I might be missing something here but your big preparation for date night was you dressed up and called a sitter. If you're counting cleaning the house (for a night out?) and taking care of the kids as date night prep then your husband gets to count working as date night prep.

He comes home and is ready for a night out with you and you're up in arms because you don't like how he dresses and he thought a weekday date could happen at a place that doesn't require reservations on a weeknight. And that you might want some say in where you go.

Instead of interpreting his actions as a sign that he thinks a nice night means being with you, you decide he's flunked a test. Then you play the martyr and claim you didn't bring it up because you're so sensitive to his sensitivities. Except you did bring it up. You had a fight over it instead of just heading out and enjoying each other's company, which you apparently value less than getting some grand gesture.

I say this as a woman who believes in my own worth and who won't accept neglect from a partner: you sound immature, shallow, and high maintenance. You also sound like you need a reality check about what constitutes a contribution. He's working 50 hours and is as tired and in need of appreciation as you are but you didn't give it to him.

You can whine on here all you want but it's not going to do jack shit for your marriage. A nice walk holding hands means more for a marriage than dinner reservations. Your husband's statement that you make him happy means he appreciates you -- any dissatisfied troll can call a restaurant to patch things up with a demanding spouse.

Get your priorities straight. Or be miserable. Your choice. [/quote]

Yes.  I see so many men on here who wish that their wives would just stop dressing up for them and putting on sexy underthings for later.  I can't believe that you did that horrible thing, OP.  Can't you just be happy taking a walk in sweatpants with a dirty house?
