i've turned into a psychotic bitch.

now i know why men complain about women being crazy all the time. i've never been accused of this (not in a bad way, anyway) so i never understood why my guy friends were always so careful of these looney women. they'd be in long-term relationships and have to talk to their chicks as though the girl were on the verge of murdering him when he came home.

the man has been stressed out at work, and taking shit out on me by picking on me, much like little boys do when they like girls, but are too afraid to be nice. simple shit, like freckles or looking tired or the way my teeth look. in the past, i'd either let it slide or ask him to stop. with the latter, he'd freak out and get pissed because i "couldn't take a joke" or that this is his house and if i don't like it, i can just leave. (not possible. he'd shrivel up and die without me, and he knows it.) i'm a really patient woman, so i take consolation in simply knowing the truth. he's a great guy, but he forgets that people (especially women) have feelings. he thinks that providing food and shelter is how one shows love.

well, today was my day of enlightenment. i flipped out on his first off-color comment once he came home today. i screamed and yelled and slapped myself in the face. (keep in mind that i am not a lunatic. i just had trump him.) i cried until i was hoarse, and told him through my tears that he was right about everything and i'm disgusting and i don't deserve him. he was stunned, almost crying (he NEVER cries) and shamefully apologized for all the shit that he has ever said to me that may have hurt me. then he told me how beautiful i was and that i'm an awesome mom and he doesn't know what he'd do without me.

so today i have entered the psychobitch militia. i'm really not crazy, but in order to keep the man in line, i have to act that way. i feel sort of bad, but i'm just happy to have found something that works.
and he came home from the restaurant early with evan williams and a bunch of gerber daisies for me.

Well, save for the self-slapping, my wife will pull the guilt trip card out all the time. I fold within minutes, even when I am 100% in the right.

If you're just entering the militia, that must make my wife a Field Marshal.

Sometimes you just have to make them remember that you are the most awesome woman in the world, and they couldn't live without you. They have to realise when they are taking you for granted...

Seems like the best way to deal with it is to find out a way to be good to each other on a consistent basis as opposed to being antagonistic or manipulative.

Sometimes you just need to have a blow up to get things back to that state of normalcy, though.

at least you still want him around and aren't getting knocked up by his friends.

sigh.

but seriously. you're ok. sometimes it takes a good shouting match to get things back on track. plus there's the makeup sex. that's always pretty awesome.

I figure that if he was saying nasty and hurtful things to you (even if he doesn't mean it) and wouldn't stop when asked politely over several months then you were allowed to make a scene. It's not like you threw a hissy fit because your sugar daddy wouldn't buy you a new Porsche is it?

i've turned into a psychotic bitch.

am i terrible?
