DH runs his own business and occasionally has to work away.

He's currently working away for three nights and I'm so irrationally mad at him for it.

He's a very sweet man and I know he feels guilty. He's trying hard to be kind over the phone etc...

I just feel so angry with him though. I'm recovering from a miscarriage and I just wanted him to stay here. But instead I'm lay in bed alone stewing.

I know IABU because he can't stay here, it's a big job and big money for his business but I can't help but be a grumpy cow with him tonight.

This is the third time in the space of a few weeks he's been gone for days, I hate it.

aww I know you are going through a tough time love

Men tend to be practical in situations, like someone needs to keep the bills paid

I hope you recover soon x

Sounds like you are(understandably) angry with the universe for your lossFlowers.
Anger is part of grieving, it’s natural. Which doesn’t make it any easier.

So sorry you are going through this op, I hope he’s back soon and you get the support you need. X

So sorry for your loss, OP. You aren't being unreasonable at all to feel angry. You know your DH has to be away for business and you know he's a good person. But it's ok to feel what you are feeling right now.

I remember bouts of anger after both my miscarriages. You are grieving. Cut yourself some slack and be kind to yourself and DH.

Sending hugs.

So sorry to you both OP. He's keeping you going in the way he knows best. He sounds a good guy Flowers

Thanks Flowers

I'm usually quite a nice person I think. But tonight he is just making me mad whatever he says, bless him.

He keeps saying 'you get some sleep', 'why don't you try and have a sleep' etc... I WILL, WHEN I'M TIRED.

I'm being selfish, I know the world doesn't stop, people still have to pay bills but I just want to come first for a minute.

I can't even say anything to him because I know I'm just latching onto this unfairly.
