Sometimes I’ve found I just need a space to scream my thoughts into… without judgment or comment, just to get it off my chest. A bit like an online version screaming into a pillow. I did this recently here and it was very cathartic; but I feel it could do with a topic page of its own… a place to offload without a potential pile on….
Tonight’s scream into the void is: why the fuck am I always responsible for the fucking details of every Fucking trip that I organise, even though my husband knows where we are going and when? It’s his birthday and yet apparently I need to know where we could eat on one night, despite having planned every other fucking detail. And it’s my fault for raising it!!! 😱😱… he’s not a bastard, just ASD and thoughtless.

I was having a ponder about husband's earlier and their ability to just sit back and be told what to do.

Mine has been nagging for weeks to ring virgin media because the account is in my name. So I did the three bastard hours trying to sort a new router and package out, most of that spent on hold because apparently the last hour I spent got cancelled.

It came today and I left it out for him to hook up while I was at work because he's got more patience with those long arse passwords and id done my bit.

It was still in the sodden box when I got home. Apparently it didn't occur to him and I never told him to do it. Hmm

It was a stern short conversation about settling into a passive roll in our marriage, because that isn't sexy.
