My dh has taken on extra work tp help the family business and is finding it tough going. We aren't getting on very well at the moment either. To add to the general crapness my car has broken down and had to be towed away today.
DH had organised for someone to come and mend our washing machine today, and although I am not at work today, I had things organised to do. The call out fee was £85 and parts would be extra. I have been outside all morning with the AA man trying to get my car loaded onto the tow truck, so although dh rang repeatedly there was no reply (both phones inside), so he turned up to let the bloke in and was not best pleaed by me being at home, as it meant he had come back unneccesarily. I explained and apologised, but he came inside with me because I wanted to check that I had enough cash to pay the man. I had £85 exactly, but didn't know if we'd need parts. DH looked in his wallet and added £1.30 to the pile, at which I laughed and said, 'don't bother'. He said 'I'm sorry, I'll go and get some cash' and I said not to worry, I could pay by cheque. He stormed out saying ' Nothing I do is good enough' his lip trembling and tears in his eyes. I went out after him to try to see what the REAL problem was and he wouldn't talk to me. I'm worried about the amount of stress he's taken upom himself and although he can be hellishly frustrating at times, I hate seeing him upset. For once, I don't think I'm the cause of it (he has been upset in the past if I've had a bit of a go for whatever reason), but this is something totally different and I don't know what I can do to help. Any suggestions onhow to get him to open up to me?
