Blown off, again

So once again, I get blown off.

Mike and I use to have what we called "Nakey Friday".  Wasnt always sexual, but we would get the kids off to school, gather snacks or make breakfast, and then get naked and crawl into bed and watch movies all day.  Every Friday.  In fact, if appointments needed to be made or if we had errands to run, they could not and would not happen on Friday.  That was our one day of the week we made time for each other.  

Then I dont know what happened.  Semester was over for me and the kids began winter break.  So Nakey Friday was out of the question for a while.  Then when our schedules went back to normal, I was farther along in my pregnancy and started sleeping more.  Lots more.  I would often sleep until noon or later.  I felt bad for sleeping in so late.  But he doesn’t wake me, he says I need my rest, and I suppose I do. But then there was mornings that I got up somewhat at a decent time, 10 am or so.  I would say "How about a move?"  and I get a "Nah, I am not up to it." while not even looking up at me.  He plays an online game called "Wonderland" or reads from our Kindle all morning until its time to get the kids out of school.

So I try something like "Can you come and just cuddle up to me for 5 minutes?  It dont have to lead to anything."  And of course I get a "I told you, I am not up to it."  So yea, I cry.  My feelings are hurt, then he gets mad because I am "having a tantrum".  Really?  So getting blown off for a stupid online game is not suppose to hurt?  I have tried to talk to him about this, but it just gets turned around on me, because I am hormonal and pregnant.  

Now I day dream about knocking the crap out of him with an aluminum bat.  I took time out to make him hand dipped, home made chocolate covered pretzels a week ago.  I didnt want to, but I did because I love him.  Today as I layed here in bed, crying over rejection again, I thought about taking those damn pretzels and crushing them all to pieces.  He doenst want to do little things for me, why should he have anything of mine that requires my time and effort.

I havent said much to him today, he knows I am mad still.  He is kissing my ass all evening, and I was going to sleep on the couch, but he insisted on sleeping there instead.  I decided next Friday I am just going to get up and leave mid-morning, and go sneak me some Ben and Jerrys in to the theater and watch me a matinee before the kids get home. I have never watched a movie by myself.  I will say clothed though  🙂

🙁 I’m sorry that Mike’s feeling this way with you. I do have to say that I do like the thought of Nakey Friday. I don’t know what guy who doesn’t love his wife wouldn’t even love and keep Nakey Friday as his favorite day of the week. Enjoy next Friday, especially with Ben and Jerry! Two guys who will definitely love your company. 😉 Guys who’ll make you feel good, no matter what. :-p Hope things work out with you and Mike! 🙂 Oh, and welcome to Open Diary. I’ll definitely stop by more often if you write more!! 🙂 Neil

Nakey Friday sounds like a very good idea- but it certainly sounds like it is more fun with two than one. Hope things get better!

I remember my ex would always go to bed before me. I’m a night owl, so I would stay up and play video games. She would always ask me to lay with her until she fell asleep. I really didn’t want to.. It’s not that I don’t love cuddling and didn’t love her, I just didn’t want to go to bed yet. I always did though… every time. I hope he realizes how much the little things mean.

Staying clothed in public is a good idea!!! I am so sorry Mike doesn’t seem to appreciate the little things…or do them in return.I deal with that myself. It’s never fun, but we do those things because we love the man. Hang in there, and if crushing up the pretzels makes you feel better, go for it!!! 🙂

One sided relationships DO NOT work…. I’d have his ass beat…. Mainly because I’m angry and…just want to keep hitting something until my knuckles are broken in multiple places =oD
