Can you damage your eyes from rolling them too much?

[MopedManiac]

Back story: slow dawning that DH is moaning, controlling knob.

Am feeling particularly irritable at the moment (? Pms) and the only way I am keeping the anger/ sighs/ and frustration pushed down is to roll my eyes (unseen of course!) and whisper silently in my head "FFS!"

He is just constantly coming out with stupid/ sarcastic/ whiney/ comments & reactions.

Am basically trying to shrug off his moans as they really are not my problem/ fault. Eg dropping his fork (for the 3rd time) has apparently got something to do with the house being too small!

Hoping it's just pms and I can get back to my usual patient self....

Unfortunately OP, you can. My eyes are now permanently stuck in an eye roll loop. It's hard as I'm constantly judged as grouchy, when really I'm a very sweet person.
Gin does help but often ends in tears.

Thanks lucky you made me smile (with little tears)! I am constantly being accused of being grumpy - even when I'm not. Maybe I've also developed resting bitch face?

Eye-rolling is passive aggressive. Better to actually state clearly in a calm even voice why you feel inclined to roll your eyes.

[StiffenedPleat]

Sorry he's being awful. I hope he stops the constant petty criticisms.

[OhWhatFuckeryIsThisNow]

Jesus, mine would have fallen out my head by now. I find (silently) adding "fuck me, but you are an arse" also helpful.
But...if he's still like that after pms has gone, whatcha going to do?

[MopedManiac]

I know, stiffened, I know. But then it becomes a big lecture discussion as to why he wasn't being unreasonable, how he had a similar situation at work, and how hard he tries to change things for the better.... and when my patience is so low I can barely stand the sound of his voice right now, I just couldn't be arsed listening to more moans....

[MopedManiac]

That, fuckery, is the million dollar question....

Do you have children? I would try to avoid eye rolling as it is contemptuous (been on the receiving end of this with stbxh) and not good role model.

I do think PMs escalates if stressed and seems to be a warning sign that life isn't right.Maybe you need to take action.
Do you and your h have any good times?

I was wondering why I needed stronger glasses. Well what do you know.

Life is too short - to answer the million dollar question, ask yourself what you would do if you had a year left to live?

Then try a month.

Then a day.

The answer won't be eye-rolling and swearing under your breath.
