Hi there!
As it's sometimes difficult to see the other persons point if view during an argument, I wondered if anyone could advise me?
Basically, I work long hours as a nurse and my husband is generally finished by 2. On this particular day, I was working a 14 hr shift, with a chest infection as I hate taking time off. Said husband was picking his van up from the garage and dropping his daughter off for a week at her friends a few hrs away.
I got pictures and updates about their lovely day, so I innocently asked if the house was tidy and had the dog been out. I got a crappy text back and some reference to 'mum' and was told he'd be home early.
I usually finish work at 21.30 but approx 8pm I felt crap and went home, to an empty house and one sad and unfed and unwalked dog. Quite mad at this point and feeling really ill, I put on my waterproofs and took the dog out around a pond that is quite dark but one of our usual walks (about 20 mins).
When I returned, husband is sat in front of the TV and doesn't speak probably knowing I was mad. After working nrly 14 hrs, being tired and I'll I told him to get out of my sight, he told me to shut up, mimicked my voice and walked off. I screamed some abuse upstairs after him about his selfish behaviour, only to be informed that he'd seen me walking out with the dog, knowing I was ill and left me to it!!
I guess I'm asking would a normal person let a woman walk off in the dark by herself, although it was a choice I made, is chivalry really dead??
And I also think the dog should be put first before his hobbies and free time, whilst he thinks it doesn't matter what time she gets taken out!!!
