Wow - everyone really busy last couple of days, where to start.
fruity that you are fed up. My DP has been really sweet recently but we have just come out of a really rough time. When we were going through m/c's we didn't really support each other just went through it alone so IKWYM when you say sometimes you wonder if you are in the right place. It sounds like you enjoy each others company after your day out though. Men are generally rubbish at talking and even arguing. A friend of mine who has just had her first, found that when she got pg her DH was a nightmare, out all night, getting pissed, not wanting to work (he's s/emp) and generally being a big kid. He was fine by the time their DD arrived.
In the past DP and I have gone out for a meal to talk about issues (you can't shout in a restaurant), maybe that's worth a try if he won't try. Have you told him you are sick of having the same row and you want to sort it.(Mind you we have about 3 rows and just replay them!)
Mollie lol at list of jobs for DH, glad i'm not the only one, how did he get on? Was his work and attitude up to standard?
emmsy/scully/ei You all sound like you had lovely weekend, sun just mades everything nicer Oh and emmsy - with your brood and dungarees and hedge cutting it sounds like The Waltons ! Well done for getting out in your garden despite the fishwife next door.
I also soaked up the sun yesterday, had to try and position the sunlounger so I wasn't looking at the pile of crap left from our kitchen re-do (Yes ladies my DP is v/sweet but will he go to the tip or trim the hedge - will he heck!- Ah you can't have it all)
ei Fingers crossed for you - symptom spotting here you come!
