I tried to bite my tongue tonite (I didn't really do a good job at it...) My AHsober was watching sports on the tv in the bedroom, while I was watching tv in the living room. He decided to listen to a particular game on the radio in the sunroom, and left the bedroom tv and light on. During a commercial on my show, I went to another room to check something, and saw his tv was still on. I asked him nicely if he was finished with the tv, as I knew he was headed to the sunroom. He said he didn't know, and then I playfully said, "ya gonna listen in simulcast?", and then laughed. He then replied, "Are YOU done with the tv in the living room???"
I asked him why he said that, and he said because I asked him about HIS tv. I said "I was really wondering if you were done, as you usually forget you had it on". He went on to say, "I was just asking if YOU were done". He knows I get up during commercials. I do my nightly "routine", i.e., get the coffee pot ready , etc. during commercials. He knows that. He always jokes about it EVERY night...about my "routine". He was just being pissy for some reason because I questioned him. I did it in a nice way, jovial even. I swear, I can't say ANYTHING to him, where he doesn't have to say something sarcastic to me. He has spoken hardly a word to me the last several days, and if I ask him why he's quiet, he says, "I'm not..I'm talking to you". I'm so tired of it. So I blurted out, "You said that with an a$%hole attitude, and you didn't have to do that". He said no he didn't, he just wondered if I was done with my tv. I muttered something else, not mentionable here, lol, and just let it go. Yes, I DID have the last word. I know I should have just let what he said go in one ear and out the other, but I didn't. I hate to be treated like that for no reason. Just like my daughter was talking to me disrespectfully, he's doing that. I am about to kick his a@# out too...
Don't be angry at yourself. Sometimes we just have to let it out. There are many times I have bitten my tongue, and once in a while it feels good to let it out. Sorry things are so rough for you. Sending you all my love and prayers.
Live strong, Karilynn & Pipers Kitty
