The dumbest fight ever

[Giannawannabe]

My husband and I just celebrated our 18th wedding anniversary. We just had a similar fight last week Every once in awhile, dh and I have a big, stupid, blow out about something that seems ridiculous. I kind of went off the deep end regarding his not completing some projects around the house. We didn’t speak for 2 days. It was awful. I reminded myself of all the wonderful qualities about my husband—good dad, good provider, etc. etc. Yes. He’s slobby and doesn’t finish household projects, but he is the one God sent me. I told him I was sorry, and that I would make it up to him somehow It sounds like you’re on the road to “making up” now too. I agree that the stress of moving and starting a new job probably took it’s toll on the both of you. Believe me, it’ll happen again. With each silly fight, you’ll grow stronger, if you make up and forgive each other—just like our Heavenly Father does for us.

Thank you, Gianna and Steph (and everyone else). It honestly makes me feel better to know I’m not the only wife out there with a husband who doesn’t always like to finish household projects!

Yes, we are definitely “made up.” We have been out of sync since the move about three weeks ago, and after this fight and much discussion, both of us have been making a MUCH bigger effort and everything feels very good again. I need to be a little more sensitive about his work stress as well as his just having left a lifetime’s worth of family and friends and memories behind. He has returned to being his loving, considerate self. He also apologized for what he said, recognizing that it was particularly hurtful to me given a specific reason that isn’t important.

Last night, my dad, a diabetic, had a horrible scare and an ambulance had to be called. It’s a very long story, but my mother panicked and we had to rush over there with my niece in tow, though it was almost her bedtime. He was wonderful with helping me sort everything out. Not that it takes an emergency to realize how wonderful your spouse is, but it certainly helps!

Thank you, everyone, for sharing!
