Ready to strangle DH

AuntFlo

We've been down a car since early December.   DH's Jeep needed repairs, we got it fixed, only to have it break down again.  
So for almost 3 months now we've been borrowing my step-father's truck.   It's no big deal to my step-father, because he and my mom don't usually need two cars anyway, but there are some occasions were it would be nice for them to have THEIR car back.   I always return the car to them on the weekends since we don't have a use for 2 cars then.
DH has been putting off getting the Jeep fixed.   We had someone look at it and give us an estimate ($600, worst case scenario) but DH never did anything about it.   He wanted to wait until he got his tax refund.   EVEN THOUGH WE HAVE THE $$$ IN SAVINGS!!!!    Isn't this what savings is FOR????   Erg!!!!
(You may remember, I put DH in charge of managing our money because I was sick of doing everything.   But now he's obsessed with saving money.   It's driving me nuts.)
He FINALLY had the car towed to the shop on Friday.   He hasn't heard anything from the shop yet - - and today's Wednesday.   Right?
Why do I need to tell him to call and check up on it?   WHY????  

WHY???????????

Sorry - just needed to vent to people who understand.

Junkpunch, followed by roundhouse to the face.

I'd be beyond annoyed.  That is precisely what savings are for.

sometime soon, the garage is going to start charging for storage.

I need to add to the list of my annoyances...   Just to get it off my chest so I can move forward.

He got pissy with me in front of his friends on Sunday night (we had a little Oscar party).   He asked me a question that didn't make sense and he treated me like I was stupid.   His friends came up to me when DH was in another room and told me that it didn't make sense to them either.   Thanks for sticking up for me dumb@sses!   They're on my junkpunch list now, too.

DH sent me a long list of things he wanted for his birthday.  A LONG list.  Like a 8 year old makes for Christmas.  

He tells me yesterday that WE need to find a paid babysitter for DD for when we need a night out. so that we're not using/abusing the grandparents too much.    When he says that WE need to find a babysitter, he means that Auntflo needs to find a babysitter.

Showing out in front of your friends = very adult. I would have called him on it the second he made fun of me publicly.

I would have been a complete \#/ about it. In fact, I have been (not to H, but exbf was bad to do this.)

I think it is funny how someone's attitude changes about something once they are responsible for it.

Unfortunately, I didn't have time to deal with it right then.   I was in the middle of making pizzas and my hunger for pizza triumphed over my anger at him.    It was also one of those "pick your battles" kind of thing.   He heard it later, let me tell you.   We went to lunch yesterday with one of the friends that was there and he called DH out on it.   So he's redeemed himself...  (the friend, not DH.)

At least the friend called him out. I'm surprised they didn't then and there.

Wow, mr AF is on your sh*tlist, and rightly so.

I hate that "we" conversation, if that word comes up, I usually give a massive side-eye and SIGH huge.  I'm a drama queen like that.  There is no WE, if you want something done, do it yourself.  Luckily H doesn't use that word often.

AuntFlo

These are 2 friends that have known him for 20 years, so I think they're just used to him and kind of roll their eyes and move on.   Not a good excuse, I know, but I think that's what happened.

**O-Face**

No, I can see that happening.  But they aren't married to him either.

Butter Cookie

Maybe they were too embarrassed for him to say anything, and assumed you would later snip his testicles off and keep them in your purse until he earned them back.

That could be it, too.  :)
