The Bitch Thread

[Etoile]

I am sick. And this is one of my busiest weekends of the year, when I work my ass off interpreting nonstop for hours a day, and I have to be social at the same time. My wife wasn't able to come with me, so I have to put up with existing all by myself, even though I'm sick enough that my brain is kind of addlepated. I drove all over town at 11:00pm last night trying to find somewhere that would have cold/flu medicine, but this place apparently shuts down completely at night.
WAAAAAAH I AM SICK AND I DON'T LIKE IT

[catalina_francisco]

Today is not going away however hard I was determined to ignore its coming and going. No sleep, more questions than ever, and no answers will ever come but at least I have anger to balance the pain. Bitch over.

I think I may have lost a friend this weekend and good riddance. I was helping him cut down a dead tree in his back yard. The whole time I was there he was giving his wife nothing but grief over insignificant things. The tea wasn’t right, his jeans weren’t ironed properly, and the bread for our sandwiches wasn’t the right brand. He does this to her all the time. She is a sweet lady who doesn’t deserve this abuse. Nobody does.
Finally I blew up when he started criticizing her weight right in front of me. As soon as she went inside I called him an asshole and told him I was sick of listening to him abuse his wife. One thing led to another and I thought we were going to get into a fight. I left telling him I never wanted to see his face again. To hell with him.

Hey this does work. I do feel better.

I want to just say-- Thank you. On behalf of the quiet, abused wife... because I was that wife once, and wished so many times that someone would see what he was doing to me... and say something.

Of course, I ended up finding my own inner strength, took me a long time. But yeah. That's neither here nor there. Just saying thanks.

Good for you. Thats one of the reasons I dont have many male friends, most of them are stupid assholes.

I had second thoughts on the way home. I wondered if I only made things worse. on the other hand I was also wishing he would have taken a swing at me.

I'm debating whether or not to call him this weekend. Not to apologize but to reiterate what I said in a calm and rational voice. I don’t know.

Nah, you cant change other people. But you can change yourself. You did. Be proud and go on.

Incredible. Seriously, I am in awe of your courage. It is difficult to do what's right when *friends* are involved. But what's right, is still right.

Of course you were justified in wondering if you had made things worse, (for the wife, I assume you mean)... I had the bad experience of having that happen. A clerk at a store had said something to my ex about his language toward me.. and I took the brunt of his anger afterwards. BUT it didn't take away the kindness of the unknown store clerk...

And it might have shown his wife that other people see what an asshole he is and that other people care. Maybe give her some strength.

May I add my thanks to yours RS.......I also wish that someone had noticed what was going on in my marriage. It took someone online who gave me a friendly ear to say what others should have said but did not. My ex was from a well respected family in our small rural area, I guess no one wanted to go against them.

Apparently it was quite a surprise to most when I left him - I guess I was good at hiding things I was married to him for 23 years....about 20 years too long

Catalina - I'm adding my hugs to Fury's and SirFace's and hope things get better for you soon

 

[tealsphynx]

I HATE UNPACKING!!!! All of our laundry smells like boxes and dust so I'm washing it, ALL of it. And just as soon as I get down to one or two more batches left to do I open another box and there's MORE GODDAMN LAUNDRY!!!! I'm ready to just throw it all away and live naked!

 

[satindesire]

Nascar. Effing Nascar.

There has got to be something better to watch than a bunch of Frankencars go in circles (oh, PARDON...-oooovals-) for three and a half hours.

Friday I am moving into my own place, with my Dom and I living by ourselves, and NO MORE NASCAR!

A few things have been annoying me enough to want to bitch about them.
First is when peopel dont say what they want to so and they just say something else and hope you figure it out, im not a fucking mind reader. Second, when ask someone a real question or make a statement and the only response i get is not even a response, things like "meh", and "huh". It makes me feel like i just wasted me breath and that you dont even care to give an actual response. Please just say something, i'd rather you say something that i dont wanna hear than nothing at all and not know where i stand.

There im done for a while

I've hated that my whole life. I'm with you on this one.

Tealsphinx I hate doing laundry too but not as much as other house hold chores.

Nascar isn't my thing, you can't possibly make me watch it. Drive it maybe but never watch it. That's they way I am about MOST sports. I don't wanna watch but I'll play, ya know?

Yes, I hear you and feel you... I dislike the whole "meh" and "huh" lines myself. I hope that you have made this point clear to whomever it is that is giving you these lines of nothingness... I had to do that. Much MUCH easier to handle, face and deal with a truthful statement than one that says nothing at all.

Yea, the truth is so much easier to deal with, although telling someone (or a couple of people in my case) that the whole non-answer answer thing is annoying isnt that easy all the time.

 

[Master_of_Pupets]

that and im probably just as guilty of the whole non-answer answer thing too...

Bravo! I have seen men do the same thing. It is good to see someone speak up!

I was in a verbally abusive relationship for 3years and I wish my "friends" had proved to be as good of a friend as you've just proven to this guy's wife.

I am feeling on the downward slide of my depression today. Nothing in particular to complain about, and that makes it even harder. Well, nothing recent. I am having flashbacks and such currently, and dealing with them as they come.

So I try to compensate by looking for *good things* to occupy myself with, and so far, I'm failing miserably.

Sometimes, just feels like I am falling and will never find that place where I actually crash... just keep slipping ... away. *sigh* Too bad I don't simply disappear.

Anyways, like that makes any kind of sense...

Take care.
