Phil dutifully reads this blog, so this post is two-fold: it is an extension of my apology (we made up last night) and still, my way of sharing how you, too, can succeed at being a mean wife! Okay, I'm kidding. While that is never my goal, I'm only human and sometimes I fall short.
Without going into detail, I had a craptastic less than ideal day yesterday. I had already begun to give Phil a synopsis of my day in the parking lot while leaving work, but by the time we got home, I was worked up all over again after having rehashed all of the day's low-points (Note to self: Seriously? SO unproductive, Ang). And here is where I share my secret on the fastest way to ruin an evening: pick a fight with your spouse---the spouse who had just spent an hour listening to your maniacal tirade--about the dumbest thing you can think of, raise your voice because it is the very thing that you abhor, slam things around in the kitchen and serve up dinner at almost 9:00pm.
Poor Phil. It took me ten minutes of quiet brooding before the fog lifted and I realized the error of my ways. I offered my heartfelt apology and fortunately, was forgiven. Married life. With me, it's grand! :)

I've definitely done this. I always feel so dumb after! HAHA Our poor men. :)
ReplyDeleteYou and me BOTH girl!! We are sooooo lucky to have amazing men who love us, even in our faults:))
ReplyDeleteThere must be something in the air. My poor husband got the silent treatment last night ~ and today, I can't remember why! ;) Thank goodness we have wonderful men, full of forgiveness and grace!
ReplyDeleteLife is way too short to waste it being mad and stewing over petty crap. And besides, just look at that beautiful face. Those delicious chocolatey brown eyes are truly my biggest weakness.
ReplyDeleteWe are both lucky ladies because I do the same thing. I'm pretty sure this is why we said our own vows because I wanted to make sure he promised to love me when I acted like this!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope "filthy" is Phil...otherwise....awkward! ;)

all i have to say is my husbands been a saint through my pregnancy tantrums. (but he is when i'm not pregnant too!). grace is so good.
ReplyDeleteyesterday was crappy for me too! But grate to have a spouse who supports us through the good and the bad.
ReplyDeleteIt must be wonderful having such a supportive and loving husband. I am fortunate to have a boyfriend who is the same, ever so patient and kind.
ReplyDeletegirrl I wish I had your strength! I love that you wrote about this. I'm sort of a stubborn girly so if Kurt and I have a fight, I usually hope and wait for him to apologize first. Which he usually does, even if its my fault!
ReplyDeletei hate that I do that! I seriously need to get over myself sometimes! haha you are so right. Sometimes I need to just realize my errors!
You guys are such a cute couple. Seriously :-)
xoxox
It's great that you guys worked everything out. My wife and I have a rule in our house that's caused for some very long nights, and that's "never go to bed mad". I'm proud to say we've stuck to it even if it's 2am!!
ReplyDeleteguess this is what they mean by "for better and for worse" right? :) glad to hear you guys worked everything out!
ReplyDeleteHard sometimes to remember that those moments are only a tiny grain of sand on the beach of life! Yeah to husbands( and wives)that get it and let it go.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it amazing the things that can just set us over the edge? I'm glad Phil knows and loves you and you were able to ask for forgiveness and he extended that gift to you!
ReplyDeleteWow, been there and done that before. Isn't life crazy, why is it that we sometimes take out our frustration on the ones we love the most? I am glad you have a great hubby who forgives easily :)
ReplyDeleteIf I had a nickel for every time....Honey Bunny is a trooper with a high tolerance for pain, too!
ReplyDeleteawww..this is such a great post. You hubby is a wonderful guy and you are his sweet wife. This is what marriage is about isn't it? Grace and acceptance. I get moody too sometimes, of course my family have to suffer the effects of it...so I am thankful for their patience. Thanks for being so open!

Hey girl, I've given you an award!
ReplyDeletehttp://caityslosingit.blogspot.com/2012/04/liebster-blog-award.html
*hive five* to hubs for forgiving you.
ReplyDelete*huge hug* to you Angie and big props for apologizing.
Good job on working it out and finding a way to correct the situation. Most couples don't do that, so you two should be very proud of yourself for identify and fixing the problem.
