Well, I'm disappointed.

I just want to know why it got deleted . I realize I'm being a dick by bringing it up again.

Probably because it eventually got to the inevitable "counseling or leave,
because your h is a flake and doesn't care about your neeeeeds!".

I'll chime in as a pregnant woman who has raged at DH for things that wouldn't normally bother me. Dumb stuff that is not his fault.

He's been great! I really can't complain. I guess I feel like he should throw me a freaking bone and just do.the.damn.thing when I'm over it.

The escalation, though, is what was different from my situation.

I don't know. This seems like it would bother anyone, pregnant or not. Dirty dishes for days? Gross

That is true. It would have pissed me off, too. 


I guess I'm just trying to show pregnancy solidarity but I'm realizing more and more that it's beside the point.

Really, it just made me laugh to myself imagining Vince Vaughn's one-liner from Wedding Crashers: "Claire's mom made you feel her hooters. Stop crying like a little girl!"

I am immature.

I don't think it's a big deal. Pregnancy hormones can make you ragey about stuff you're normally not.

Sits at Professor Art Nerd's table. Seriously, we let nobody just vent here ever. Nothing in that post required part deux today.

Also, every time I try to just tag someone, it never works right.  I give up and will be going back to just quoting and haters can just hate :-)

[ProfessorArtNerd]

I would probably be wiser to vent here, instead of to my friends and my sister, though, come to think about it.

I didn't see any of the original post, but this is a general question. Do you guys actually vent IRL and not expect any comments or advice? Or is that just a message board thing?

I suppose this is why people don't confide in me, ever. I don't want to hear about it anyway, and I surely don't want you wasting my time if you don't want my help or suggestions. Serving as someone's sounding board is pretty close to my definition of hell. I'd rather die of loneliness.

[sparkythelawyer]

05heel, to me there is a difference between people providing comments and advice, and people needing to rehash shit over and over until they have sucked all the flavor out of it. This board has a tendency for the latter. IRL, that kind of vent session is something that would have been talked about once and then left alone. Not brought up again and again.

[eddy]

Everything I saw as far as advice last night was pretty gentle and helpful. SO I don't buy this whole we shouldn't post our vents. She has the right to delete it, but no one (that I saw) was being mean. I can't speak for her, but I bet that post helped.

[Deleted]

I feel for her. She's all hormonal and her DH just needs to do the fucking dishes. When I was that pregnant I was all crying about my DH's Uncle visiting unannounced.

[MWOS]

it wasn't a vent. the title was "What would make you go home to your parents" or some bullshit. It was a goddamn invitation.

[Deleted]

I guess the rehashing doesn't bother me. It's just what happens. If your contribution is to complain about rehashing and/or repeating information, you've contributed the message board equivalent of "EVERYBODY STOP REPLYING TO ALL!".

But I'm entertained either way, so don't worry about me. I'll just keep on reading.

[Deleted]

Glad you guys talked about it. If it makes you feel any better, once my DS and I went to visit my sister for 4 days, I returned and my H hadn't done any of his dishes from when we were gone. We are talking like 6 dinner plates, 4 bowls, cups, etc., all piled on the counter. So I was piiiissssed and didn't do them either and just did the dishes from the time I had gotten home, so they sat there another day or two until my H got the hint and did them himself. He made a jokey comment that I was being passive aggressive by not doing the dishes and I wanted to punch him in the face. Anyway, he ended up doing the dishes. The end. I get it. Its annoying.

And THIS is why I never bitch about specifics with my husband on here.

Exactly. My H has been seriously pissing me off lately but I know better than to get into it here.

ETA: I don't vent about him to anyone irl either.

[iamgrace]

Rehashing happens. If you don't want the rehash, don't delete a multiple pager. Lol

Sorry if I pissed you off namasteak.

[MWOS]

my first Real Fight with M was about whether or not John Travolta is gay. True story. Seems relevant.

[MWOS]

I think he is.

We agree to never discuss John Travolta.

[Deleted]

My H and I have an agreement never to discuss whether Whitney Houston wore wigs. Especially now that she's dead. He thinks it's bad juju now that she can no longer defend herself. His denial runs deep. Her hair was about as real as Beyonce's.

I may be planning on buying paper plates later today.

We do this even now when our week gets crazy busy.

[iamgrace]

Whenever I bitch about my H on here, I've usually just finished chewing him out for whatever stupid thing he's just done. Sometimes I gleefully read him the responses confirming his bone-headedness. He loves this place. Lol.

I know him professionally.  I can't tell.  I've sat at many a conference room table, studying him.  Maybe that creeps him out.  But I still can't tell.

My H knows how to read all my posts so I either DD or don't post. I guess if DDing causes another thread to talk about the DD then not posting is best. heh

Does your H read your posts?

I wouldn't care if my DH read mine, but it would be so out of character. He would get bored so very quickly.

Sometimes when I don't close the window on the iPad, he reads the board. He really does enjoy it and thinks we're nuts. Lol. 

He has his own message boards, so he gets it.

@booby nearly ruined my marriage with her blind items

[Deleted]

Funny, when I posted the ad at the bottom caught my eye. Something about "Kansas man shoots wife over dinner plans"

Breaking all the dishes doesn't sound too extreme now

[Deleted]

I do too, Sue. It's what marriage is all about! Lol.

I'm sure there will be many more agreements like this as the years go by. We'll be down to like two topics of discussion at some point.

There's nothing to discuss because you are right.

[KKD]

I can't tell you how many times I typed out a vent about H and deleted it before posting. Not necessarily because I was afraid it would come back to bite me in the ass, but because just writing it made me feel so much better.

IRL my sister and I vent about our husbands to each other.

Without either of those options I'd probably be a barrel of rage.
