It's frustrating to try and reason with someone who's unreasonable. Our H are living in a selfish, all-about-me world.

I don't think you handled yourself poorly. You, like the rest of us, keep a lot of things to yourself. There may have been a time in our M that we would have called our H out on a lot of things, but that time has passed for now. You kept your focus on listening to him, but countered your example to make a point.

How did your H respond to your conversation?

Any recommendations on how I should have handled tonight's conversation better???

"I hear that you're upset by this but as you know, I don't control my Mom. Did she mention you by name?

Thanks for checking in but if there's nothing else I can do for you I need to get to bed cause I'm really ill."

But really, I think you did fine.

labug, you are seriously a genius.

I hope someday I can think up responses like this.

3b, I think you did fine. I agree with Blues, your H is just being selfish and whiny. (OK I added the whiny part.) And let's face it, he probably has some guilt/shame about leaving the boys.

I hope you feel better soon - double ear infection, ouch!!

Labug- That is an exceptional post....right on the dot.

3B- You have no way of knowing if that post was aimed at your husband....and even if it was, it was out of your control. IMHO, FB is the bane of DB....people see stuff on their thinking it is directed at them, pics of the OP, on and on.....It is just a nightmare LOL. For myself, when I was in the spot you ladies are at.....I stayed way off facebook. My friends were all here on the forum. Made my life way easier LOL.

Hope you feel better 3B....Those dang kids are always bringing home nasty little germs from school to infect us parents LOL.

FYI- New thread time
