Well, I had such a good enlightening day yesterday, and I'm very thankful for it because today has been a true test. Husband got up this morning all hung over of course from his birthday celebration last night, and would not stop trying to fight with me. I hid in the bedroom for a while and when I came out, my school books were all over the floor. He had just thrown them on the floor. How disrespectful. I had my first yoga class this morning which probably helped me a bunch. My daughter and I left and are staying with friends tonight. I couldn't stay there and listen to him one moment longer. He hates me, which is fine. I don't like him much right now either....BUT I didn't waste time arguing or fighting, and boy did he try. Thank you all for being here. Tough day, but will make tomorrow better.....
Steph he doesnt hate you, he is just a sick man. I know it doesnt excuse the behavior and your right to take a break until he settles down. It was his guilt that made him want to argue and justify the drinking. Oh what webs they weave.
Sounds like you handled the situation in a most positive way. Good for you.!
I can relate to the scenario you present. I can also relate to "hiding in my room"...as I"Ve taken to going in the opposite direction of my wife most times. Sounds like your handling things pretty ok to me.
