So H came home from work. I'm getting ready for work. I do say Good Morning to him and I am cheerful. I go do my own thing and I'm sitting in another room knitting until time to go to work.
H comes in and sits in same room. I'm trying to be cool. He starts talking about a performance bonus he is getting soon. I ask 1 question and that's it. He then talks about something on the car that didn't get fixed and wanted to see the invoice. I go and get it and just ask that he leave it on the table when done.
H leaves room and I suspect that he is done with what he needed. He returns to tell me that woman that he works with is crocheting another blanket and he was hoping to talk her into giving it to him.
I'm stunned. H asked me to knit a blanket for him a long time ago and he uses it nearly daily. When I finished he said it was exactly what he wanted. Now its not... and he wants another woman to make him something???
Yes - I was hurt. I tried not to show it but he could see it. He said he wasn't trying to hurt me. Of course I wanted to defend myself and state why his blanket was made the way it was but now he points out the flaws... it is a chunky yarn and its loose because its double knit but very HEAVY and very WARM. Again, he states I wasn't trying to hurt you and you can see I use it every day.
I left for work feeling terrible. I thought I was cool last night and he did come into the room I was sitting in this AM but then to end on this note of I guess jealousy on my part? :-(
So I got to work and I texted: I understand you weren't wanting to hurt my feelings and you were just sharing about your day and friends at work. I should have just listened to you talk about Amber's crochet and not take it personally. I can do better.
I know he read the text but there was no response.
Did I make it worse by texting? Should I have just left it alone? I'm trying to act "as if" but I stumbled for sure.
