I feel as though I’m becoming such a cow. I’ve always been easily irritable but I swear it’s getting worse.
Dh from the minute he wakes up keeps coughing non stop, burping, belching. He probably has digestive problems from being overweight but I think the coughing has become a habit.
He’s deaf but won’t get checked for hearing aids. Can’t hear a word I say. When we are sitting down and I’m trying to have a conversation he just stares at his phone and often walks out of the room as I’m in the middle of saying something.
He’ll be in the kitchen doing something as simple as making a drink and he’ll suddenly scream out “oh my god”, or “for fuck sake”.loud and dramatic, I’ll ask what is wrong and he will say something like “there’s no effing cups” or something equally trivial. He seems to constantly crash and bang around being noisy.
I feel as though every time I try to start a conversation he starts having a coughing fit or choking on his own spit or he starts flapping his arms around and clapping his hands because he’s seen a tiny fly.
If he leaves early for work and I’m up later or having a day off he seems to make as much noise as humanly possibly. Coming in and out of the bedroom several times opening every drawer until there’s no chance at all of me getting back to sleep.
We’re both early 40s, been together 20 years.
Im not sure if he’s turning into a miserable old man, I’m tuning into a miserable old woman or both.
