DH was away for a week

And it was the easiest week i've had in a long time

We have been in a rocky place for a while. Constantly bickering, me being moaned at for just about everything I do. Nothing I do is ever right etc etc

Two children aged 10 and 5. Even they said it was a relief he was away

If I finished work at 5:02pm no moaning about how I was late and should log off dead on 5

No moaning about how I make a mess of the bathroom (I don't) but he can't seem to grasp i have longer hair than him so take longer

No being moaned at or told what I can or can't wear

No being moaned at for not paying him attebtion when trying to work but when i try and talk to him when hes on the phone I get told to be quiet

No moaning about how I walk or am occasionally clumsy (accidently knocked a show off the rack earlier, would have thought I'd hit him or something for the amount of moaning about that)

No moaning if I let the kids have a biscuits before dinner when i'm trying to juggle working and the hour between school pick uo and logging off

This means its over doesn't it

No hes not the type to reflect on anything he has done, somehow this will always be all my fault

As mentioned before i'm currently not geeling well with a chest infection and youngest also has a cold - both of them have been labelled my fault. His exact words were i go away for a week and you both get ill, what did you do?

He's told you all you need to know.

I would hope that even the Appeasers Of The Great Man Who Must Be Pandered To At All Times would agree. Awful behaviour and sadly true to form.

Line up the ducks.
