Just a simple vent and looking for some empathy
So sometimes my wife just for the smallest of reasons decides to get grumpy on me stop talking to me and give me the silent treatment. Usually it’s over something so seemingly minor like wanting to buy a new shirt or pair of jeans when she’s just spent a ton of money on clothes for herself and particularly when I counter argue that I also work too and that her concerns never stop her from spending lots of money on clothes.
Most of the time we work it out and manage to successfully navigate our little spat where we both have turns at being childish and to her credit shes keen on a compromise to benefit the both of us more often than not, these exchanges are so energy sapping and both of us really have to bite our tongue and yes we’re pretty good at it too.
But then there’s also some days where things haven’t gone my way in matters completely unrelated to her and our marriage and then one of these types of fights like the one described above comes up and for me rather than hold my tongue and have a disciplined approach to resolving the conflict that will benefit us both I honestly just want to just say something along the lines of “ you know what you’re a bitch “ and then storm off and go for a walk and not help out with the household duties.
Thankfully this hasn’t happened an sim determined for it not to but can anyone relate at all ?
I’m not interested in getting spreading or getting a divorce or anything like that but I just can’t stand her tone when she is condescending and seemingly overacting but I just sometimes just wanna to tell her to fuck off or just call her a fucking bitch and walk off. Sorry everyone for the rant but has anyone just felt similar toward their spouse during moment’s of very resolvable conflict ? And successfully got their point across without insulting their spouse.
Tia for your input and appreciate you all reading I just get so frustrated sometimes
