Remember those Halloween cards I bought? I took one and wrote on the inside, "I was thinking about our Halloween costumes. It's too soon this year, but next year I was thinking we could just go as "mom and dad" I gave this card to Husband who was sitting on the couch, watching ESPN.
He read the card twice and had this stone face. He didn't say a word and just looked at me. I was smiling, cause I thought that this was what we were trying to achieve. I showed him the pee sticks. Still nothing. I said, "Oh, well that went really well." And walked away. I sat on the dining room floor, trying to suppress the tears while playing with the dogs. I must've sat there for a good 10 minutes before he finally came in the room and sat down at the table. I don't remember his exact words, but I think it was something along the lines of "is this for real"
Instant rage. Thanks kiddo for that - cause mommy has been super cranky. I just looked at him. I couldn't believe he would think I was lying about this. Such a huge moment in our lives where I expected smiles and kisses and I got anger. My husband is a sweet man. And I love him. But he has a definite talent for fucking up the best moments.
He later explained that he thought I had bought another dog. Because of the puppy on the front. Whatever his reason, he still sucks and it was still heartbreaking. He has come around so much since that night, but it definitely wasn't the reaction I thought I would get. I mean, he's not a big emotional type person, but I at least thought I'd get a smile.
