I was rude to my husband this afternoon. Like, taking-frustration-out-on-him-and-hoping-he-knows-how-hard-MY-day-has-been kind of rude. And wouldn’t you know that I ate a HUGE helping of Humble Pie for dinner tonight.
I had a really lovely day actually. The first sunny day we’ve had in days, a lovely play date in the park with a friend, a nap for me and a long simultaneous nap from both kids, some productivity while they were sleeping…but then I started cooking dinner.
My obligatory annoyingly-long-stream-of-consciousness-paragraph is probably appropriate here. I could then explain the 1,001 little irritations and problems that built up in a short period of time this afternoon behind me deciding to lash out at my husband, but I’ll spare you. 🙂
To make a long story short, I had just arrived home and was getting out of the van with two whiny, hungry kids and our uncooked dinner at the exact time we normally start eating dinner, with almost an hour of cooking ahead of me, and I heard Michael open the garage door and call to me from inside the garage.
I yelled, “WHAT?” (like a real yell, ya’ll) while ignoring him and stomping right through the front door with a shoeless, hungry, wiggly baby on my hip and a pan of raw chicken casserole tottering on my arm. After depositing the fussy baby and pan of food unceremoniously inside and hurriedly turning on the oven to preheat, I stomped back out to the van to grab another load of stuff (and find the other kid). Michael walked in and tried to say something like, “Are you OK?” and I growled back loudly while brushing past him roughly, “It’s. not. you!”
I was pretty out of it, people. Out of character. Into my own irritation.
At that moment, out of the corner of my eye I spotted a dear male friend of ours looking extremely uncomfortable behind Michael in our garage, hands in pockets and eyes looking everywhere but at me and my poor hubby.
Yep. He saw it all. He heard it all.
I was so mortified, and I was angry beyond words with myself for embarrassing my husband like that in front of someone that both of us respect.
After unloading the rest of the van, getting dinner thrown in the oven, tossing some steam-in-the-bag veggies in the microwave (praise God for steam-in-the-bag veggies!), and saying three Hail Marys to calm down, I walked out into the garage.
Both men stopped talking mid-sentence, their eyes widening just the tiniest bit. I launched meekly into a confession that I was really frazzled from everything that had happened that afternoon, and without trying to excuse myself, I laid out the best apology I could. I wanted my friend and Michael to both know that my behavior was purely from me not handling stress well and taking it out on Michael, not any argument between Michael and me. I then went back inside, put on The Rescuers Down Under for Gabe, and played Busy Bugs with Faith until Michael came inside.
Whereupon I apologized profusely and tearfully and he made me want to beat myself up more because he was so forgiving and gracious when I didn’t expect him to be. If Michael and I had been in each other’s shoes this afternoon, I would have been furious, not to mention deeply embarrassed.
This little incident really got me thinking about my behavior and my speech toward my spouse in private and in public. We are all going to make mistakes. We are all going to snap at our spouses every once in a while, because we’re not perfect–we’re sinners. My point is that I think I’ve probably been snapping at Michael too often lately in private. And that’s not OK. We should all be striving to be the person we want to be when everyone else is watching. And I do strive for that. I just think I’ve probably been slipping lately.
I’m ending the day today praising the Lord for growing Michael and I both in humility, patience, forgiveness and understanding as a couple. That is because even a year or so ago, I really think an incident like the one this afternoon would have turned into a B.D.D. (Big Dang Deal) for us, rather than diffusing enough by dinnertime that we were laughing together again at our hilarious kids.
Like THIS hilarious kid. 🙂
I want to use this medium to say a very big thanks to
dr ebosele for restoring my relationship back. I lost
my husband to another lady who happens to be his superior
at the office. my husband was going out with her after two
years of our marriage, when i found out that my husband was
having an affair with another woman, i confronted him
and all he did was to send me packing. When i discussed
the issue with my friend jenny, she told me not worry
that maybe my husband was under a spell and she suggested
that we consult a spell caster named dr ebosele. my friend
told me she came in contact with his email on the
web when she was searching for answers to a similar problem.
we contacted him for help and behold he gave me the answers
to my problems. I was surprise the day my husband and his friends
came to my house asking me to come back to the house,at first
i taught i was dreaming but behold it was real and now we are
happy together again. THANK YOU DR EBOSELE i will forever be grateful.

Erin…I tried to send a different comment…I guess I'm not getting the hang of comments. I'll be short and sweet…GREAT vulnerability about your Sacrament. Wish I could say I was not guilty of the same, but after 20 years of marriage, I will tell you that I've engaged in this for sure. I love the forgiveness aspect, which reflects the way Christ forgives us. You guys are incredible testimonies to the power of marriage.
Thanks, Mary. 🙂
Thank you for sharing Erin.
I find myself getting so irritated with Sam for little, super insignificant things, and afterward I feel so bad. We are blessed to have amazing husbands, and like all wives, we need to strive to remember the way we treated (and talked) to the person we fell in love with when we fell in love.
I will start working on this right away. Thank you so much for you willingness to admit your flaws and help us all with our own.
Blessings.
I like what you wrote about remembering the way we treated and talked to the person we fell in love with. When M and I were dating, I would never have talked to him like that. I make it a point to especially watch my tone of voice and actions with Michael when we're in public, partly because when I've heard wives and husbands talk to each other disrespectfully in front of others, I'm so sad and embarrassed for them.
Sometimes I worry that I share too much on the blog! perhaps I do sometimes…:)
YEOUCH!!! Love it. Thank you for sharing 🙂 I needed that reminder because I did the same thing to my husband yesterday, except it wasn't a friend who was watching… it was our kid 🙁
Yep…that's another point…fussing and fighting in front of our kids. My kids are still so little that I feel like I'm not quite as "policed" as I should be sometimes in my speech towards Michael. I know your handsome little guy is probably old enough to have things impact him a little more now though. Love to you and your cute family, Jen!
I think the worst for me is when my husband gets home from work, and I'm in a bad mood about something silly. He is just getting home and so happy to see us and I'm upset and making a big deal out of nothing. Thank you for the reminder of treating our husbands kind and respectful both in private and public. It can be so easy to take everything out on our husbands because they love us so much and because they are so forgiving, they usually won't yell back at us, but instead try to understand us better.
I love the way you were able to apologize to your husband and friend. I don't think I could have apologized in front of the other person. What a beautiful example you were able to give. God Bless!

As embarrassing as this would be, I think maybe a similar incident needs to happen to me, so I can learn to calm down before lashing out at my husband sometimes…

Oh, this. It's actually something I struggle a great deal with because I have a suuuuper short fuse (especially pregnant, but there's no real excuse) and my husband is incredibly calm, forgiving and has about the longest fuse known to man (I can probably count the number of times he's been short with me on one hand). I have definitely had to work hard to remind myself that just because he *will* take the snarkiness, does mean he should have to. Good thing he's patient… because it's a big character flaw on my part to work out :).
Isn't it beautiful that your kids got to see you resolve a misunderstanding and end up in such a happy place?
