My husband's been damn irritable lately and it's really pissing me off. But the nerve! He had the nerve to tell me (ME!) that I am a drama queen tonight.
I USED to be a drama queen, but I haven't been for years. I love a domesticated, quiet life now. Yet apparently something's carrying over.
He says when I tell myself I need something, I NEEEED it now. Right then. I talk about it non-stop. I obsess about it. I can't live without it.
Is that really drama though? He said I'm dramatic about it until I finally forget and move on.
I do get excited about things and I do obsess over them. But drama? Nyet. I know I should address the obsessiveness. I actually usually refer to it as PASSION. I think that's common in creative types. I am passionate about things.
Lately I have had to change a few things that I've done my whole life to try and meet him in the middle, yet sometimes it's never enough. I stopped thriving on drama and trauma years ago - largely in part to his making me aware of it. I agreed it had to go! It went easy enough. But now? Why should I rid myself of being passionate about something?
I guess this means I continue being passionate, but I'll have to further censor myself from him to save him the grief. What really pisses me off is when I try not to be overbearing and talk non-stop, he asks me what's wrong and needles me until I talk.
Don't you hate it when husbands get like this?
