You know when your day just goes completely to shit and it seems like there is a conspiracy to piss you off? I had one of those.
I once again learnt today that I don’t manage conflict as well as I try to convince myself I do. I generally just become a blubbering, tearful idiot. Or a passive aggressive bitch. And I don’t like to be either of those.
I over analyse. I try to convince myself that I should have been able to control the situation better, should have seen it coming, maybe I am wrong. I’m not meant to work with other people. ANYTHING to just NOT deal with it.
So, by the time I got home this evening I was finished, I felt like I could run a mile. Or climb into bed and stay there until someone makes me get up 3 weeks from now. Instead, hubby gave me space to wash unnecessary dishes and cry. Pack the childrens’ bags for tomorrow and cry. Chop A LOT of vegetables and cry. And he kept the kids away from me.
Bless him. And now I of course feel guilty for not spending time with them, but I know that I needed my little meltdown more.
Love you babe, you are the best!
Bless your husband for knowing that you needed your time out. Conflict is so unpleasant – hope you can deal with it better today. Sterkte!
Wonderful that your hubby knows when to give you space like this. Hope you have a better day today.
Aah, sorry you had such a bad day!
Glad you could go home to a loving husband, may your day be lots better today!
Oh my goodness, are you sure you don’t live in my head? Sounds just like me! Hope you feel better today!
hope today is better ….
Oh my word… I am now more convinced than ever that we come from the same place! Sounds scarily like me and exactly what my DH does as well when I’m like that!
How amazing that hubby gives you the space for a meltdown. I know the feeling too well.
I think sometimes I am only playing at being a grown up and actualy have no skills to do anything at all! (hugs) xxxx
Hope today is better.
Cool that Hubbie gives you space to take a break and get your sanity back.
I know EXACTLY how you felt! And I hope today is heaps better for you 🙂 *Hugs* for that meltdown “moment” (I know it lasts longer than a moment)
Yugh! Hope your day today is better. And can I tell you: there’s nothing worse than guilt and the feeling that you’re to blame. Sheesh – I know that well. We gotta learn how to stop doing that! 🙂
Thanks LL!
I did, thanks!
Me too!
we should get together and compare notes!
Aren’t we lucky gals?
We all have days like that!
Thanks Rebecca!
We are girls, we are programmed to feel guilty 🙂
