I'm mad at H again, go figure

So I cannot frikkin believe him! His shift ends at 6:15 a.m. and he can be home in like 15 minutes. So guess what? He rocks up at 7:20. I was finishing putting my makeup on and asked him how his night went. He says, "Ok." I ask, in a nice way, where he's been...work late? So he's all "I was talking." And that's that...no explaination...who, where, what...nothing.
So I am instantly h-e-a-t-e-d! i didn't say anything though...I knew I'd just blast him if I did say something. So I finished getting ready in silence with him laying in bed watching me. And I left. He was all like, "Are you mad?" as I was leaving. I said nothing, but slammed the bedroom door and went downstairs. I stomped around for a couple of minutes getting my stuff for work..muttering under my breath about damn right I'm mad, etc.
I'm mad because I scurry around like a lunatic every single day after work so I can get home to spend the 1 hour a day we get together. I really bust my a** every day so he can get his "family time." And when it comes time for him to reciprocate, he's got his fat ass plopped at work! I cannot believe him! So, because of his "talk" he and I got to spend a whopping 10 minutes together today. It's just bullsh*t!
I don't care who he was talking to...some broads at work he's friends with (the only ones who can tolerate him)...or if it was the day shift manager yakking on and on as he tends to do. The point was NORMAL PEOPLE communicate. You say, "I ate a bagel for breakfast and bought some coffe at Tim Hortons..."etc. The fact that he was talking to whomever about whatever doesn't bother me...what bothers me is the fact that he can't share with me. I feel isolated and completely cut off from him.
What made it worse was last night, I was doing laundry for him and the skids, and ironing, and cleaning, etc...and in the morning, this is the thanks I get?! He can't even talk to me like a human being? I mean seriously, who DOES THAT? Why wouldn't you say, "so and so was talking and wouldn't shut up" or "I was having a nice chat with my friend so and so..." But nothing... He's such a freak.
I probably sound like I'm overreacting, but I don't FEEL like I am. I can't understand why he does this. He's done it alot lately. "Been doing errands today" "Had things to do" But never, ever says what those things might be. But, he'll dig, pry and annoy me to find out exactly what I've been up to if I'm not completely entirely forthcoming about my whereabouts during the day. Where the hell could I possibly be????!!!! I work, pick up groceries/mail/etc and come right home--at warp speed I might add...I never get time for chatting or relaxing at all. Plus, I tell him what I did..."I bought 3 cookies, a dozen eggs and some butter. Then I picked up my mail at the post office..."
I don't think it's too much to frikkin ask who he was talking to since he decided to give up our morning for that person. And it's not that I don't trust him, I just don't want to be treated like I don't DESERVE to know.
I really hate him today. I swear to god he's going to give me a coronary Sad

gotta get to work real quick here but no you are not wrong. I would be pissed to. I always talk to my FH about my day or what is going on. He on the other hand used to act like he worked for the secret service or something he had no idea how to communicate like a normal person because he had been beat down by the BM for years (used to be 40 to 50 calls a month from her raggin!) so in other parts of his life he just learned to shut up and not talk about things. It's really wierd. I don't know if that has anything to do with how your H is but he should be sure to come home on time so you guys can chit chat, give each other a hug or something - it is not too much to ask - especially after you bust your butt doing laundry, house work etc. These men need to get a clue! Sorry girl - gotta go but will talk to you later - hang in there

BM has just verbally beaten the crap outta him for years and still does. Maybe that's part of it. But like we've said, that doesn't excuse the behavior.
Thanks for the input Smile

Wasn't there an episode of seinfeld where some girl jerry was dating didn't want any pie and the gang was all upset because who would refuse pie without saying anything...some sort of explaination?!
This seems like the same thing to me... I mean it's kinda funny on some level, but it's also sad and weird that he can't even just explain WHY WHY WHY???

I can't understand. Here is a man, divorced w/kids. Marries you. Expects you to keep up the home, take care of HIS kids, do the cooking, cleaning, grocery shopping-and then won't give you the time of day. Imagine one of his buddies spending the weekend (minus you). Would he treat them that way. Not. Why are we always last? It's no wonder their kids feel "entitled", when they see dad being "entitled".

That is so true!!!
I think I'll be "very late tonight" and let him worry about getting his kids to religion.
Lets see how much he can appreciate me when I don't do anything anymore...
We gotta take back our power ladies!

Lil T, you got it right! Let them LEARN FOR THEMSELVES how
they can't live without us. They're like little kids; we
have to "teach" them how to behave.

By the way, I'd be pissed, too. My H does that all the time,
but, of course, he'd NEVER be late to his mommy's or if he
had to do something for the "princesses". (He IS actually
getting better, because I am not as "available" as I used to
be, so he knows he has to make quality time WORK).

And STICK to your plan....let him go a week or two without you
bailing him out. I'm sure you'll see changes! Smile

I have to admit, I wouldn't have stayed quite after he told me "just talking". I would have ripped him to shreads and asked him who was more important than getting home to me.
You did well lil teapot, you took it all in first and now deciding what to do. I think it's a great idea to take your time and not rush to his need (I always do the same thing), let him see what he will miss if you don't get treated properly. Stick to your guns!
