Guys,

We are in the midst of one of those moments right now....see Anthony and I are not immune!! We just have less of them now that is all. Basically I'm tired and cranky, and he's tired and stressed because we are in the process of moving house next week. Just what you need when you are 7 months pregnant.....NOT! How are we resolving things, better than we used to. He started his crappy yelling behaviour tonight (apparently I was nagging), name calling (etc) in front of the baby. Not happy. I just told him to calm down and stop yelling, don't swear, don't tell me to 'shutup' and that I'm not dumb (I really didn't take offence to that because we both know that I'm not)grabbed the baby and walked out of the room. Oh and I got food thrown at me, my response to that was "thats my behaviour, I used to throw things but I don't do that anymore". No sense staying there and giving him something more to fight about. Plus if you are trying to annoy to someone who is angry its better to take the moral high ground and act like an adult........that generally annoys the hell out of me, when I am angry and acting childish and someones acts like an adult.

What do we do to resolve this.........well there really isn't anything to talk about. The argument was only over a couple of boxes that I wanted moved and I ended up doing it myself. I took the baby down the other end of the house and folded clothes, he stayed at the other end watching TV. Now he is in bed with baby sleeping, best place for him. What will happen tomorrow? Well he will still be grumpy, might speak to me, might not, I'll carry on regardless and he will act like nothing happened except he will be grumpy. Will he apologise for yelling.........unlikely. I could apologise for upsetting him but then I don't think I was nagging that much. He's going to Brisbane tomorrow for a couple of days to visit family, which will do him good but that is also adding to the stress because he wants to get things done here and I can't do too much.

I think just giving them space helps. It certainly helps us. Gives them time to stew on what dumb asses they were.

As for the sandwich thing, I once thawed out some lovely porterhouse steaks for our tea, we had an argument, he was mean, I cooked and ate mine and fed his to the cats. Told him about it the next day. Would do it again to. Priceless!!
