Stubborn

Is it just me, or are guys even more stubborn than we are? I think I might have written about this before but I can’t help write about it again since it came up again.

Yesterday, my boyfriend and I were talking about some things we needed when we went grocery shopping. I asked him what else we needed besides hairspray (that we both use). He said he needed deodorant and bar soap. Then I said and I need face wash and face cleansing cloths. That right there will be $50.

So then he flips out saying its ridiculous that my stuff costs $50…I was clearly referring to all of the items we had just dicussed. Then he yelled at me and was like, no thats not what you said or how you said it. I told him he interpreted it wrong. He said no, I said it wrong.

How stubborn can you be?? I mean, when I interpret something wrong that he says, he just tells me I am wrong and he said it perfectly normal. Its never that I said something right and he didn’t understand it…I must have said it wrong. But when he says something and I don’t get it, I am an idiot.

Its really frustrating…it caused a huge fight and he wouldn’t discuss it with me. He shuts me out and is like I don’t want to hear you anymore. I said if we always do this, we’ll never resolve anything. His way of resolving things is to scream at me and then shut me out when he feels like he’s done. Doesn’t care what else I have to say.

Keep in mind this is not a common thing…we don’t fight a lot. But the few occasions that we do, its pretty bad. Anyway, I don’t know how to get him to just calm down and listen. He gets really fired up and has a ridiculous temper…and won’t admit he does. He’d never do anything harmful but the rage is freaky regardless.

How do I get him to listen and calmly talk about something? He gets nuts and tells me I’m overreacting but I have to yell just to get heard since he’s flipping out. Grrrr….sooooooo frustrating.

But anyway…here are 10 good things about today:

1) My puppy is doing a little better.

2) I only have to teach summer school for 2 more days!!

3) I will officially be on summer vacation for a few weeks on Friday at 11:15!!

4) I have a clam bake to go to this weekend.

5) After the fight, he said he was sorry first, and not in a text (the way we normally make up)

6) It hasn’t rained yet!!

7) The family pictures we took a few weeks ago came out awesome!

8) We’re having stir fry tonight

9) We decided to skip the gym (doesn’t sound like a positive to some of you…but to me it is ;o)

10) One of my favorite shows is on tonight.

Okay so I was stretching it there but I tried hard!
