Ok so I’ve just done something childish. My DH called me, and I didn’t answer because I think it would’ve ended in an argument. Childish, I know.
My DH has been working away a lot recently. I deal with the DC, dog, I work etc. This week has been HELL. My work has been so bad and stressful I nearly quit. I was in tears at work, and then because of transport issues, it took me 2 hours to get home, after standing in the freezing for an hour. Luckily my childcare was understanding.
When I was upset at work I messaged him that I was upset. He didn’t respond to it, but did send over some pictures of him and his workmates drunk at a meal. Then I got a drunken call saying “it’s really late here, I’m off to bed”. I got home and cried my eyes out from being overwhelmed, cold and just stressed from my job.
Aside from the nice meal photos and the “it’s too late, and I’m too smashed” to talk, I’ve not heard from him. He’s busy on an overseas work jaunty having meetings, lunches and long boozy dinners.
I get up at 0600 with the kids, and he’s 9 hours ahead, so he could’ve called me first thing this morning to see why I’m so stressed out, but didn’t. He’s just called me, but I just don’t feel like talking now. I’m not in a good mood, and just want to be alone.
I know it’s childish, and I’m probably being U. Yesterday was the worst working day of my life and I needed a bit of support as well as being solo parent with commute and childcare angst.
