Do you have days where you see a long evening of silent resentfulness stretching out ahead of you because you just cannot be a*sed to apologise?

[FrannyandZooey]

There is no way either of us are going to say anything better than civil to each other for the rest of the day unless I apologise, and I really cannot bring myself to do it when he has been such a grumpy tossbag for half the bloody weekend.

Oh joy and it is a bank holiday weekend so we get an extra free day of niggling and arsiness! Hooray!

\rant over

NQC I will not dare ask him to do anything for the next decade or two

"must be done without interruptions"

he has been doing it for 3 days! I could petition for abandonment or whatever.

I took ds out for 2 hours, when I got back he was filthy and we were all starving. (Flat) PacMan should have just downed tools and given me a hand.

Oh god, DH pretty much Doesn't Cook, you have my sympathy there. He's good around the house (well, cleaning, not DIY), but cooking is mostly Not Possible.

Or, if possible, it must be done according to a recipe, all ingredients cut up ahead of time etc etc.

Oh, and yes, 3 days is excessive. What on earth did you buy at Ikea? Do they make houses now?

Yes I am sitting here sulking right now because I refuse to apolgise.

I can't be arsed with silent resentfulness itself tbh.. I find it inconvenient.. so I tend to get the urge to apologise in order to end the period of inconvenient silence - which isn't really a problem because I am generally at least partly responsible for whatever it is he has the hump about...

It was 3 separate pieces of furniture and he has done one each day. It has only been a couple of hours each afternoon, but it has seeped into our entire beings, and each day must be carefully structured around The Assembling of the Flatpack.

Hmm, have you explained that assembling flatpack is a treat in our house? Oh, wait, I thought DH liked doing it, but he says it's "irritating and annoying".

He says I get a "calming zenlike thing out of it". Which is sorta right, actually.

I just have to start liking fixing bikes, and that will be a vast improvement around here.

F&Z sorry you're making me laugh now! love "Flat PacMan"!

It's alright bournville, I started this thread in an attempt to find it all amusing instead of Really Fucking Irritating.

It worked :o

i'm sitting here with my glass of wine chuckling like a mad old woman in the corner funny funny thread in the end
