my husband and I rarely "argue" but last evening he really had me upset and he can't understand my side of the situation which really frustrates me. So now, today, I am having a rough "tummy day" because I was so mad and upset and didn't sleep well....
The whole situation started the night before when we were invited to his mother's house for dinner last evening. He was to go to a meeting with her to get some legal matters rearranged with her estate. Since he was going to miss some work he would be working late to make that time up and we wouldn't be going to his mother's for dinner. Perfectly fine with me. So I went about with my evening last night. Made sure I had some dinner fixed that would be easy for him to heat up when he got home, etc. Around 7:00 I got a phone call from one of his assistants at work asking if he was home yet because he had a question for him. I told his assistant that he wasn't home yet and took a message. With that I figured he must be in route home which would take no more than 15 minutes. Well, an hour later he finally shows up after I am worried sick that something happened on his way home. I told him I was starting to get worried because of the phone call and when I thought he'd be home. He informed me that he had gone back to work and made up his time and it didn't take as long as he thought. So he went to his mother's for dinner and to discuss more about the meeting they had. My point was that he could have called me from his mother's to let me know that plans had changed....he told me he didn't know he had to "check in". I told him he doesn't....but out of courtesy to me he could have let me know so that I wouldn't worry and wouldn't have taken time out of my schedule to make dinner. I could have made something simpler for just myself. He has done this before but has been real considerate since then...I don't know why all of a sudden he didn't call. It's so frustrating!
