Husband bitch
Author:tburns
My husband had a day off work. I hung up probably 5 loads of washing. The only job I asked him to do was to take the kids to school and pick them up. I also asked him offhandedly if he could tidy up. When I got home at 6.00pm, the house was a pigstyle, the kids were still in their school uniform and no dinner was made. Well, I suppose that’s not too unusal but it still annoyed me nevertheless. What got my goat was when I looked out the window and I saw ALL the washing still on the line. There was a sudden downpour just before I got home. I automatically assumed he would have taken them down. I threw a fit to which he kept saying ‘calm down calm down’. I went outside to get the 5 loads of washing off the line. I should have left them up there because it made me angrier when the towels were too heavy to carry as they were saturated and dripping. The sheets kept flapping in my face it was like being slapped over and over again, it was torturous. What was worse was the ‘smalls’. They take the most time to hang up and vica versa, to take down. I think it took me 10 minutes to rip everything down but it felt like an eternity. In the space of this 10 minutes, my husband did not once come and help. To top it off my boys were yelling that they were hungry and my husband ‘let them’ come and bug me whilst I was doing vile job of taking down laundry. When I calmed down, 2 bottles of wine and a cigarette later, I realised that most of the stuff on the line was his and the boys. Very little of it was mine. After the ‘laundry’ incident our relationship was never the same. Everything he did was in reference to the washing. For example. The boys got gastro and were vomiting all night. My husband refused to clean up the vomit saying that I would tell him he wasn’t doing it right. Well, the fact that he didn’t even try made my blood boil. I would say to myself ‘well at least that’s not as bad than that wet washing day incident. The kids were vomiting, not him. Or the time my eldest son kept wetting the bed and I would get up to change the sheets, my husband would say tiredly ‘let him sleep in it then he’ll learn not to wet the bed’. I thought that was as bad as leaving the washing on the line. The promise I made to myself was if he did anything worse than leaving the washing on the line I would leave him. Afterall, ‘men will be men’ as my friends kept telling me. So, what constitutes an event worse than leaving all the washing on the line, staring at it while it pelts down rain? Ummmm….how about your husband driving right past you and the kids when your car has broken down, you have all the groceries in the car and it is a 38 degree day? We are now divorced. I remarried and I knew it would a successful relationship when I hung 2 loads of washing on the line, didn’t say anything, went to work and when I came home, the washing was folded and stacked on the kitchen table …WITHOUT me asking.
