We have one child, eleven months. I'm on mat leave for another month.
If he has a stressful day/loses his keys/insert other trivial thing here, then I bear the brunt.
Example tonight he comes in after working late, huffing and puffing and mumbling. I asked him what's wrong and he just stares ahead and continues stomping around.
I react by being rather quiet and he asks me (impatiently) what the matter is. I said I wondered the same about him and he yells that I'm not the only one who is tired even though I think I am.
Ok, I'm tired, but I never even said I was!
Last week he lost his car keys and you'd think it was all my fault..
He's all smiles and civility personified at work and to his friends, it just seems that I get the bad side. EVERY evening he complains. Be it a headache or exhaustion. He's wearing me down.
It's like he hangs his fiddle up behind the door when he comes home and changes.
He is taking his stress out on me- and it's unfair. But if I challenge him he flies off the handle.
His actions tell me he doesn't even like me.
How do I handle this? Surely life is too short.
