Blindsided

[chl0901]

Journal: So, last night was not fun. We went to dinner with H's family after work and H was in a bad mood from the start from work (and then his family was 30 minutes late to their own reservation which made it worse). H did not even try to enjoy dinner and ended up leaving early without telling his mother bye which upset her. I got home with S and put him to bed and then got myself ready for bed (H was already laying down). He couldn't log onto his Xbox Live membership to watch Netflix from our room and was not able to reset his password online so he called the support line who does not do password resets. He got furious and threw his phone at the wall. He then proceeded to smash his Xbox - it was like the printer scene from "Office Space" minus the baseball bat. It was one of the most juvenile and unattractive things I have ever seen H do. I just ignored his tantrum and didn't say a word. In the past, I would have tried to reason with him to calm him down but that would have just made him mad at me and made the sitch worse. I've only seen this type of behavior from H a handful of times in our relationship, but I just don't understand how breaking something (expensive!) helps him, but whatever. I'm frustrated with him right now and was actually looking forward to coming to work today to get away from H for awhile.
