Ok, so I am on the roll today. I just want to pen this down before I forget.
A few years ago, I invited my elderly mother to come stay with us for a night. She doesn't live far away, but because my father was away, and we just moved into our new condo, I thought it would be a great idea for her to come and experience how we live.
I got my mum settled into my young daughter's room and it was decided that our daughter would sleep in our room that night.
The whole night my AS husband tossed and turned and made a lot of movements, banging the door going into the bathroom, cussing and all of that. While my daughter slept through it all. I just could not comprehend why he was moving about so much. So I asked him, and angrily he said me why does my mum have to stay with us when she has her own home? And he demanded to have her house key so that he can go to her home and sleep! Mind you it was about 4am already.
I asked him what was the problem and he said it is uncomfortable and the air con is blowing directly at him, all complaints.
I was extremely puzzled and confused because this exact sleeping arrangement worked perfectly well when his own parents visited us from the UK a few weeks prior to this event. And they stayed with us for a few nights while in transit to Australia! There were no complaints then, and everyone was happy.
It infuriated me that he would behave this way just because it was my mother! I think the anger stayed with me for a long time, and only surfaced just a week ago when I had a major explosion with him in one of our rows.
I have not told anyone until now in this post. I was just too embarrassed to mention it to anyone!
