hurt and angry
6 Feb 2006 09:15 pmmy dh is really pissing me off lately. his attitude is awful. He gets this whole "my way or no way" thing going on and I want to smack him. Just now Meagan came in to tell him that the Steelers won the game last night. She is learning all about the Steelers in school and has brought home several art projects they did while the team was going through the play offs. She is very into it all and was sad that I couldn't get her a t-shirt when they had their Steelers day a few weeks ago.
So dh's reaction is to grab her and start mock spanking her and telling her she isn't allowed to say that word in the house because we are 49er fans. It just makes me so mad. He made her cry and doesn't see anything wrong with it. He thinks he is just playing but Meagan was really upset. He says it is his house and we will only root for teams that he likes--which are the 49ers and Raiders. You know what, if were actually from California or ever lived there it wouldn't be a big deal. But we are not and never have lived there. Dh grew up in Houston and Missouri and I'm from Chicago. Now we live in Pittsburgh.
I just hate the attidude. He is so unsupportive of anything we like. Like NASCAR. Dh is a big Roush fan. So of course I root for his drivers, too (my favorite is Carl Edwards). But I also like other drivers. So what does dh do? He makes fun or me, puts down those drivers and rubs it in whever they lose. And throws a fit if they win. I would never do that to him. Even when it comes down to his favorite driver against mine, I root for his to win so he will be happy. I never put him down for the drivers he likes and I don't make fun of them either. It is so hurtful. And I'm tired of it after 6 years.
I feel I have to just keep quiet about the teams and drivers that I really like or he will make fun of me endlessly. Like I didn't get enough of that in grade school. He makes me cry. I thought we were supposed to support each other? I guess that road only goes one way. I'm supposed to support him and his likes no matter what. He only has to support me and my likes if it interests him too. I hate it and I resent him for his attitude. I've tried to talk to him but he won't listen to any of it. He says that is just the way it is and we will only root for certain teams in this house.
I know it is only sports teams and nothing to fight over but it still hurts to be made fun of all the time by someone that is supposed to love you. He also shows no interest in any of the TV shows I like. If I'm watching TV he has no problem switching to something he wants to watch the minute I leave the room to get something and if I ask him to switch back he says no because he is watching. I would never do that. It is just rude. Half the time I just find something I know he will like, even if there is a show I really want to watch on, just to make him happy. He is just so... inconsiderate. He doesn't think of anyone else's feelings. I'm fed up with him.
