Long story.... For the past 3 years I've basically been supporting the family and had to go back to work full time before DS2 turned 2 to a job I hated (not that I'm bitter). DH's work basically dried up & he had to find a new career. He has now just been hired & we are delighted. Roll on a couple of weeks ago & I ask if we should just leave the anniversary cards (we have been married over 10 years) & just spend the money on a bottle of wine. He agrees. Day comes & he gives me a card (the shame) & a bottle of wine (yhey!). I buy a nice dinner for us & say I will get him the bag he was looking at for work. Next day he says he'd rather have a replica helmet at over 100 euro instead.
I made non comittal noises.
Basically I am exhausted, sad I never get to pick my kids up after school & fed up. A bag was 'useful' a replica helmet?
