Just a rant...

[mthistory]

Okay I need to rant!

When we moved into our house we divvied up certain household chores. Well DH has been complaining lately that he hasn’t been getting a lot of “me time”. So in an effort to try and give him more “me time” I told him I would mow the lawn for him. I have never worked a push lawn mower before, so he needed to show me how to run the contraption, which took about 5 minutes, and he went inside for some “me time”. After about a half hour I was done with the backyard, shut of the lawn mower (the front and back yards do not connect) and maneuvered the lawn mower to the front yard. I went in to get DH to start the lawn mower, so I could finish.

DH looked at me and told me to go start it myself. Well that didn’t go over well and led into a “talk” that I mostly cried through. As I explained I was doing his chore, so he could have some “me time”. After a little bit DH hugged me and said he was sorry, and started the lawn mower (took less than 30 seconds) and I finished mowing the front yard.

I am still a little depressed he didn’t recognize that I was trying to do something for him and I had to explain it.

I don't know the "tone" he used when he said that to you, but if he just looked at ou and said to start it yourself, maybe it was his way of trying to get you to see if you could try to do on your own before giving up so quickly. (Sometimes people don't convey what they really mean to say so easily), and then it comes out wrong and someone takes it the wrong way.

It may have been his way of trying to get you figure it out on your own before giving up, so you would know in the future, in case you needed to do it and he wasn't around to help you.

If he was just a little ticked that you disturbed his "me" time, that wasn't the best way for him to respond, but at least he apologized afterward. I wouldn't dwell on it too much - every couple has their "moments". This seems to be something you should just let go. It was no big deal, in the big scheme of things.

unfortunately I see videos, reality shows, and news that prove this is correct EVERYDAY!
