Sometimes......could you just drive them through the floor?

I don't know if it is the 7 year itch or what it is but DH has been driving me crazy!
Don't get me wrong,I love my husband and he isn't doing anything to out of the way....and who knows....maybe its just me.But I am not PMSing so its not that.
He as been so argumentive lately.He will argue about anything and when I find out I am right,I feel like saying "told you so" but I don't.
Last night we were having people over.We set up a bigger table in the living room so we could all eat around the table.We were having a pot luck so I thought all of the food could go on our kitchen table and we could just serve ourselves.He thinks there isn't enough room around the other table,decides to take the leaf out of our kitchen table and then drag that table into the living room.Now we have no table to put our food on AND no room to move in the living room.None of us are big people so I said...."all you have to do is move these chairs around and we can add one more to each side"..again he doesn't listen.It is like I am invisable.Finally I see him going back into the kitchen with the table and bringing chairs back in.:)
I then get a headache from drinking a glass of wine(I never drink wine)I take 3 pills so I am not as social as I would like.He then picks on me for that,saying I look grumpy.I tell him I have a headache I am not to worried about what he thinks.He won't leave me alone.I try to ignore him and get in on the other conversation but he keeps talking to me.Then later he turns the music up from a comfy,talkable,level 25 to a 64! I thought my head was going to pop off.It even made it up to 74 at one point.I kept reminding him that people live next door and that I have a headache.I am also sober through all of this while he as had enough beers.I also remind him that they are drinking on my new carpet so just be careful.He is then a a$$ about that as well.
I go upstairs and leave the music and beer downstairs.And I veg in my living room with a few other people.Then he comes upstairs.He sits in the chair and ask why I am up here? I tell him the music is to loud and I am going to have a stroke if I see something fall on my new light carpet.He is making no sense.Well he says, all you had to do was tell me to turn the music down,I say, I did that,and he argues that I didn't and he also argues that the music isn't up on 64! Then he brings up something that happened 2 days ago.There are people walking in and out of the living room and I am saying"I am done talking to you" and he is still babbling...on and on....Seriously if there were a button to press like Dr.Evil does in Austin Powers,where the floor opens up and the person disappears, I would have done it.
I could go on forever....but please tell me that they are all in some form this way! Maybe its just me always wanting to be right and the party wouldn't of been that big of a deal if I were drunk and didn't have a headache.But he likes to go on and on about how good i've got it and I know I have a good husband but he is not doing to bad himself.I tell him that alot of women wouldn't put up with the stuff I put up with.
Maybe he is changing OR we just need to have good argument, which we never argue.But sometimes when things bother you about people, you need to get it all out and sometimes it takes a big blow up and then a nice make up after,
Anyway,.....he is driving me bonkers.Hmmmmm,remember those candy?:9 Anyone else put up this from time to time?

Lori, next time he starts to act like that, put some xanex in his drink. he will chill then }( but seriously, i think maybe you should discuss this with him when you are not in the midst of a headache and he is sober. it is normal to get on eachother's nerves occasionally and a good talk (imo) is usually the solution.

It wasn't just when he was drinking.It was earlier in the day as well.Prehaps I have been hard to get along with and he is just giving me a taste of my own medicine.Who knows? Don't get me wrong.We get along great and everything but there are those times when you have to use all of your energy just biting your tongue and yesterday was one of those days.
Lori
 
Hi Lori,
I think we have all been in your situation at some point or another.
Don't stress over it. Try doing something really nice for him and don't bring up the party again...just let it be over.:)
 
First of all Lori........big hugs, because I can imagine you must have felt really upset and anxious at the time.

Secondly (and this is just my opinion) I WOULD discuss this incident with your husband again because he embarrised you infront of other people, more than once that evening, and thats "not on" in my books.

I get very annoyed when woman are put in a position of blaming themselves for what happens and excusing the other persons bad behaviour. Please dont fall into the trap of thinking this was your fault. You did nothing wrong Lori....... your husband NEEDS to apologise to you sweetie!

And If anyone needs to do something "nice" for someone, its him doing something nice for you because he was the one "pushing your buttons" alnight.

Hugs again

Oh no...he didn't embarass me.Don't get me worng, it wasn't like that.It was just one of those days when you are really picky.Also he never says anything so maybe it was just bothering me that he was talking :) Im just joking. But normally I tell him if something he did was wrong and he just goes about his business.Maybe this time he decided to have a say in the matter.
He was just getting on my nerves.Everytime the music would go up one more knotch my blood pressure would go up two.If I tell him about something he listens but last night I felt like I was talking to my 8 yr old.
Sometimes I just wish I had a recorder in my pocket so when he says he didn't say something, I could play it back.
It wasn't that bad.I just wanted to know if anyone else as thought about calling a lawyer up at 3 in the morning}( ;-)

Lori Im sorry if I got what you were saying out of proportion

Im glad everything is AOK

And yes, I myself have thaught about how when years I would get for strangling my DH sometimes

Yeah, my husband is a PIA alot too. He doesn't listen to anything I say and constantly dismisses my ideas. Sometimes his ideas are better, but not always. If we're out with other people, he criticizes me for things I say. Like if I actually have a conversation with someone that goes deeper than, "how 'bout them Bills?" (we live near Buffalo), he'll say that it wasn't cool to talk about whatever it was.

Last Tuesday he came home grumpy from work and when I asked what was wrong, he said, "nothing" and hardly talked to me the rest of the night. He was still grumpy and hardly talking the rest of the week. Friday morning I was leaving for work and would be leaving for the weekend at my sister's in the early afternoon, so I wouldn't see him again until Sunday. I said goodbye to him, and he kind of grunted a "goodbye". So I said, "I'm not going to see you until Sunday" because I wanted a little more enthusiastic goodbye and maybe a nice kiss. He just says, "guess not" and gave me a ridiculous excuse for a kiss. I again asked what was wrong and he pretends he doesn't know what I'm talking about. So I sent him an email from work telling him I needed him to tell me what was wrong and I didn't get a reply. So I was like, "fine!" and I didn't call him all weekend. When I got home last night he asked why I didn't call and I said, "I figured what was the point since you aren't talking to me anyway." Again...pretends he doesn't know what I'm talking about. And...we haven't talked since except for him asking how to charge our new cell phones and me telling him that I did it for him last night and he'd be able to see when he unplugs it.

I don't know what his problem is. He plays these sort of games once in a while. It's annoying as all get out. Especially since I know I didn't do anything wrong!
 
Oh...that would be a pain! DH is not like that to me at all.He was just being an idiot when he was drinking b/c he didn't see the things that I saw.
We were arguing upstairs Sat night and two of my friends were there and they started falling asleep while we were fighting.He brought up something that happened the day before.Basically,he was having nap friday afternoon,I wanted him to get some groceries with me b/c he was the one who wanted this party.I come home and he is still sleeping so I turn on the lights and try to get him up.It doesn't work so I go get groceries myself.I didn't turn the lights back off when I left and thats what he was whining about.APPARENTLY when I am having a nap he covers me up with a blanket and blah,blah,blah...so he does.He brought him up again yesterday b/c I had a nap.I told him that he doesn't have it to bad and he does lots of things that drive me nuts.And then I started listing them.
The argument didn't get far.It almost sounds as if he wants to be patted on the back for all the good he does.But I think there is a time in ever relationship when we take each other for granted and the Thank you's are heard even less.We try not to do this but sometimes life gets to busy that we forget to appericate what we have.
I think I would talk to your DH.My DH isn't like that he was just being argumentive this week and it was driving me insane.Does he not get it....I am always right!:)
Lori:)
 
Lori, do you entertain often? If you guys don't, could it have just been the stress of having a party?
 
Not alot.He would like to more.I am one of those people that likes to go to bed when I am sleepy and it annoys me when I can't.Sat night was one of those nights.If I had been at a party I would have been home long before that.
Lori:)
 
We don't entertain often either. And, like you, when I'm tired I want to go to bed. When we do entertain, I like to plan it early in the evening and if there are invitations, I definitely put a from/to time on them.

I get sort of nervous when preparing for a party, which in turn makes me very edgy. That's why I asked...thinking that maybe both of you were edgy and kind of "AT" each other.

HTH:)
 
Yeah - I talked to him last night. He's just too hypersensitive and was thinking that I was giving off signals that I really wasn't. He really is a baby sometimes! All is well now, though.
 
HAHAHAHAHAHAHA......talking about driving dh's through the floor......HAHAHAHAHAHAHAH........

I can't into too much detail b/c you guys will be reading all night into the next day. But my dh acts as though he's sitting on the right side of the throne with God. He claims he's never wrong...........HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA WHAT A SCREAM. Man if I can send him straight to that throne BANG ZOOM.
