This statement has been ringing true more and more lately. Particularly when it comes to dealing with all the emotions that this little 2 year "anniversary" has brought up. For example, I write a long novel of a note explaining how I feel and why I'm hormonal...my husband never acknowledges it and eventually chooses the movie Hall Pass for our nightly "adult time". Yes. I'm devastated about a separation/one night stand and you want to watch a movie about men taking a week off of marriage to bang anything with a vagina. That's a hell of a way to deal with your feelings (wait, are you sure you've got any of those?!). Women cry. Men choose inappropriate movies at the worst possible time and can't figure out why we're not into them. Yeah, that makes sense.
It's no secret that men deal with their emotions (even with the same situations we're emotional about) seriously differently...but do you ever wonder if they're really just dealing differently as opposed to just not giving a shit? I can't say this thought hasn't crossed my mind, oh, every other day. But my logical side keeps saying "he just deals differently!". Funny. That's what he says too. And I refuse to believe that my husband is my logical side. Unacceptable.
So what is it that your husband or boyfriend does to make you wonder if there really is life on other planets (and if you're significant other truly is one of these unearthly creatures)?? Let's hear it!
It's so weird that you wrote about this subject on my anniversary and with all that I've had on my mind lately.
ReplyDeleteI,too, am still trying to figure out whether he just deals differently or just doesn't give a shit. With all the things that are ignored TIME AFTER TIME, I'm starting to lean more towards just not giving a shit.
Yep, pretty sure a lot of the time, they just don't give a shit! Some things can maybe be written of as dealing differently, but stuff like you writing a note and him ignoring it, that's just not giving a shit. And stuff like that happens to me ALL the time. I pour my heart out and it's like I just poured it out to a damn rock. There is no response, no acknowledgement, no nothing.
