Cannot take being yelled at
My husband and i have a good marriage 35 years and are close. One of our older dogs fell on the steps today while I was holding the door open for her to come up. Husband ran down the steps and picked her up around her waist and I watched for him to put her back on her feet on the steps. He yelled, “do something!” (he rarely yells) and I let go of the door and ran down the steps to help lift our dog’s front paws so she could get back on her feet.
She’s fine, and this has happened before when he’s taken her outside on his own without my help.
Being yelled at really bothered me. My dad yelled at me all the time growing up and I just cannot handle being yelled at. I took a shower to calm down. Husband didn’t apologize and continued to leave for his workout.
I’m sure i probably should have recognized that my help was needed and not just stood there when our dog stumbled. I didn’t realize husband needed my help. I thought he had it. But it still bothers me, my heart is aching because of being yelled at. I’ve dealt with similar things in counseling but it looks like this is a problem I’ll have to address.
Anyone want to offer some friendly advice? No yelling please lol (sad) and thanks.
