We tried discussing things last night but not much got resolved. He had another go about me being a unfit parent and I tried to tell him that when he doesn't listen to me it makes me feel unimportant etc. Mexican standoff ensued. He slept on the couch (his choice btw).
Well, I was blown away this morning. H got up for work and was still pissed, said some more things to me, I said some back and he went and got ready for work. After a while he came back upstairs and apologised. Said he'd been thinking about what had transpired and he'd over reacted and should have never made any comments about my parenting. He even said if anything I probably try to be too good a mother at the expense of myself and our relationship. Suggested that I should have a break by myself, even if he had to take time off work. Wow. I also apologised for being hard to live with for the past couple of days and agreed that we really need to work more on communication. I think Cobra's ideas would be helpful so I'm going to talk to him about those.
I told him that his idea about giving me a break was nice, but I'd rather not go by myself and that I'd actually been trying to organise a getaway for the two of us. He was pretty happy. Then he tells me that he's organised to go on a fishing charter Wednesday next week with his boss. First I've heard of it. There's that bloody communication problem again...lol
It can't come quickly enough
And now you've spent your life
Waiting for this moment
And when you finally saw it come
It passed you by and left you so defeated.
