We got into a fight a few days ago because I booked Reagan instead of Dulles. He refused to come along on our family vacation and today he didn't even call.

THEN he decides he’s talking to me again, comes over to my rental and we sit outside for a while. He spent the entire time complaining about his parents, including taking about how his mom is just so angry all the time. The example he gave was she wanted DH’s dad to help make dinner, and he didn’t do it as desired, and then she didn’t speak to him for the rest of the evening. UH HELLO! Sigh.


1 baby carrot?

He “gave” me some lingerie after the kids went to bed… but admitted it wasn’t really for me.


You mean he gave you the intimates he bought for himself? Did they fit you?

This thread made me realize that DH and I have never given each other Christmas gifts.

My DH bought me a piano that I’ve been asking for a long time - he was up until midnight putting together Power Wheels for our kids.

You should “give” him some new cleaning supplies.

My DH has not left the house since he attended a work happy hour on Wednesday. Did no shopping for our 2 kids; didn’t get me a gift. I did all the shopping and cooking. It sucks living with a depressed alcoholic.

N/A. My husband helped with cooking, cleaning, decorating, buying and sending and wrapping gifts, grocery shopping, family logistics, all of it. All this while I’ve been suffering from anxiety and depression and haven’t been able to do as much as I usually do.

DH is such a control freak and every year he FORGETS that it is supposed to be DD's job to make the gravy. I just asked who was making the gravy and he answered that he was. Of course. Men or women who insist on doing everything their way and/or by themselves are super annoying. So I just let him do everything.

I would be ticked off too. I hope your daughter is able to stay sober.
