Mothers Day ended in Divorce Talk
My husband did NOT listen to me about what I wanted to do for mothers day. I told him on what felt like 7 different occassions. It was very simple. I want 2 hours to myself. I want to go to lunch alone and have a massage or facial or pedicure and then I want to come home to my family. I received 3 crappy flowers, a card not signed or colored by my kids, and a Herseys chocolate bar. My kids did not give me this gift. He left it on the counter and that was that.
My day was business as usual. I made breakfast, cleaned up, I made lunch, cleaned up, I made dinner and cleaned that too. I tried to give him one last attempt and asked for a specific favorite restauraunt for dinner. He took no note of this and proceeded to not plan dinner. My husband complained he wanted a nap all day and was visibly frustrated he had to watch the kids.
Every holiday or birthday is the same. Very much underplanned and as low effot as possible. I feel so unappreciated. He doesnt take me on dates, he doesnt clean the house. I also work full time. He does nothing that would make me want to be romantic with him. I am just existing. I think he is too. He also seems unhappy.
By dinner, I snapped, I was so upset and on the last straw. I told him I have been think about a divorce and he said him too. Now I sit here not knowing what to do. Yes, we need counseling. We will do that.
Any other ladies (and moms) been here before? Can you tell me your stories? Did counseling work? Did it not? How did your life change? Did you get past it?
A very heartbreaking Mother's Day indeed.
