Priorities
They say there are some men who cannot bear the thought of a women being ill, they see it as a weakness. I know this is not true with all men, but it IS true with my husband. He becomes meaner and more abusive to me when I am feeling poorly.
I suffer often with severe cluster headaches. I take extremely strong medication for them and the side effects vary from one dose to the next. Sometimes I feel I am going to be sicj at my stomach and sometimes I do get deathly sick at my stomach.
Anyway, today I had one of those horrid aches in my head. He called from work and seemed concerned. He asked if there was anything he could bring me. I told him I was about to take one of my pills and I had waited till time for him to come home due to the serious side effects. In other words, I didn't want to be alone in case this dose mde me ill. He said he would be right home and would stop and get me some clear soda and crackers to try and calm my stomach.
I waited for nearly an hour after he clocked out and he finally turned up. He had no soda, no crackers, no nothing. BUT..............he did have his loud-mouthed buddy with him. So, he had forgotten all about my stuff and went to visit his buddy instead. Now he is telling me the two of them need to go drop a car off somewhere. I said, "this is not a good time to be away". He said he HAD to do it now and then he left.
He will be in no hurry to get back and I guarantee the loud-mouth will come bursting in with him and any rest I had hoped for will become a dream.
My husband has no respect for me or any woman for that matter. He pretends to be all concerned about everyone but me, then behind their back, he puts them down. It is sickening to think I once thought we had anything in common. Who is this man?
