My man is an A-hole. A bonafide A-hole! I am going to wrap my tiny little hands around his throat and choke the life out of him! How can you stay with a man that meno makes you hate SO much???!!! He's snappy and moody and just plain cranky lately and I am sick of it. If I didn't know better I would swear HE'S going through meno! Maybe he just needs a good cry but NO he's the "man's man" and men don't cry don'tcha know! Running away sounds like fun...never coming back sounds even funner!

I KNOW I am not the only one going crazy today!

i hear ya, mine just left for a 12hr work shift, ( praise the lord ) love him but he gets on my last peri-nerve....

I also know how you're feeling. Mine just started a new job this week and is gone most of the day. I'm LOVIN' it!

LOLOLOL!!!!!

I don't mean to laugh, but I KNEW this was YOUR post, Lady, before I even knew it!!!

You are too funny!!!! hehehehe!!!

Go out with a friend tonight for an icecream cone or a glass of wine and then go to............what's that place in the mall where we went as teenagers........you know the place that has all this cool stuff with black lights and all. YOU KNOW!!!! Dang, I can't remember it, but go there!

Laugh your butt off with a friend!! Sounds like something I need to do too!!

Just do it!!!!

GOT IT!!!

IT'S SPENCER'S!!!!

Isn't this the same man involved in the Meryl Streep (most beautiful woman on the planet) magazine cover episode when you asked him if he'd ever seen a more beautiful woman and he whispered softly to you that "yes, he had" and kissed you gently on the cheek??? That same man??? LOL Ladybugs, I'm thinking Tidal Waves is right ... you need to get out with a girlfriend, have a glass of wine and some laughs. I think you'll feel better about that man of yours once you blow off some steam. Maybe he's stressed out about something he doesn't want you have to deal with. A big cry would probably do him a world of good but since he won't go there, perhaps a big hug from you will do the trip instead. Just a thought. I could be way off base and if I am just ignore me but I think that sometimes we peri women tend to be so wrapped up in our screwy symptoms that we forget that the people we live with sometimes have bad times too. I mean really, can you imagine living with one of us??? LOL I know I wouldn't want to live with me some days! Hang in there, get that wine and have a few laughs ... you'll feel better.

You are so right Jan, sometimes we do get wrapped up in our own "stuff" and we forget other people in our life have "stuff" too. They can have bad moods, they can actually have the gall to be a little "overwhelmed" by dealing with us. Doesn't mean they don't love us just means they are only human. Last night I didn't feel like it and my husband ALWAYS comes home from work and makes us dinner. But, I could tell he was tired and I told him to sit his butt down and I would handle it, I know doesn't sound like a big deal, but, for me it was. I am just not into doing much of anything thesed days except keeping my world quiet and not over stimulated. But, he needs to know how much I appreciate his efforts and his kindnesses toward me even when I DON"T FEEL like it. I agree maybe Ladybugs hubbie could use someone to just love him a little, hug him a little, do something unexpectedly nice for him. I know that Ladybug loves her husband. I just find that if two people are having a bad day, one of them has to try and get over themselves a little and reach out even when they don't feel like they like the other person so much at that moment. JMHO

Hey, Bugsy. I know how you feel.

I love DH dearly, but sometimes I just want to be alone.

When he's here, I want to be alone and when he's at work I miss him. Conflicted much?

Thanks for the smack ladies. It's just what I needed. There's a lot on my plate right now. I forget he has a plate too....shame on me! Maybe he does just need a hug and YESSSSSS it IS the same man in the Meryl Streep story so maybe it IS just me at the moment. We DO have plans for a movie tonight in theaters. Just the two of us ALONE. NO KIDS. NO DOGS. NO WORK. Might be good for us both huh? We don't make time for fun, just plain ol fun anymore. Wonder why?

My sentiments exactly! I know I'm frustrating the heck out of my husband and at the same time he's worried sick and just wants to do what it takes for me to get better. Sometimes he gets grumpy and I get indignant because I'm the one who feels one step away from the mental hospital all the time. I'm afraid for him to be away (he's starting graduate school with evening and weekend classes) AND looking for a job to help pay my medical bills. At the same time, I want to be alone to do things that help me relax and not have to worry about someone else. Just can't win!

I KNOW what you mean ,, I just spent a week in Sedona with my best friend .. she was so positive and fun to be with it made me feel like a really negative person .. then I came home and realized why .. oh yeah ... ITS YOU ,,, ug .. why do they continue to breathe in our air space

The other day one of our student workers handed me some work and made the comment, "You always seem so cheerful!" That same day a co-worker came up to me and said: "I'm so glad you're here today. It always makes me feel better to see your smiling face."

OMG!! If they only knew how HARD IT IS FOR ME TO SMILE these days!!!!!! I had to laugh.

I sometimes feel guilty for thinking that way....12 hrs. is a long day...we should we feel bad for them having to work that many hours instead of happy to see them go...

im sorry but i take offense to that statment !!!! where in my post do you see the word happy? not that its any of your business he usually works 6 hr days, but volunteered to cover for a co-worker !!!! and i was" praising the lord "that he even has a job in these times !!! not that i have to interped my post.....

Probably not any of MY business, but, you are kinda coming down hard on her. I don't think she meant it as a personal attack on you, more like she was sharing your feelings but feeling bad for having that feeling. Actually I interpreted your post as yes you love your husband but you were glad he was gone for a 12 hour shift because he gets on "your last peri nerve" sometimes. So, maybe he does, this is the one place we can admit things like that. Thank God!!

EEEEEEKKKKKK!!!!!!

Sounds like a misunderstanding to me too!
