Say it here cause you can't say it directly- the get it off your chest thread (Part 1)

Your passivity, oh wait! your passive aggressiveness will be the death of me.
Please! just own it.

Please let my colleague get a job offer so she move to a place with services for her emotionally disturbed daughter. She needs a break.

Of course you had to sell your wife’s old van to your step-daughter, so you could buy new cars for your wife and teenager. And then buy a house, and re-do the interior. Now you are once again broke, and you are about to owe tens of thousands in taxes from cleaning out the inherited IRA. Got any plans to pay for that? I lost the bet, I thought it would take 2 years to get to this point, only took one.

You are a 40 year old woman behaving like a middle school girl. I don’t have time for your drama. And stop posting those inspirational quotes all over Facebook, it makes me wanna puke.

Feel like asking my DH if he wants to go out to dinner Wednesday just to see his momentary look of confusion. Bet he won’t remember it is our 20th anniversary! :-??

What do you mean you’re not bringing your husband and children to your own brother’s wedding? You’re his only sibling. Plane fare is too expensive you say? Then why did you take the kids away for 5 days over spring break and also for a long weekend earlier in the winter? You’ve only known about this wedding for 14 months. You waited until the deadline day for RSVPs to tell the bride and groom? Coward.

Talk about bad luck.

Take new SUV to work to pick up daughter from college at end of term. Who knew it would hail so bad it is almost 5 digits worth of damage.

A week later, transmission in wife’s vehicle goes out on the way to a job interview.

On the bright side.

Deductible a pain in the butt to pay, but not an issue.

Daughter able to pick up wife and she made it to interview. Car not a year old so under warranty and no cost to us and free rental from car dealer.

In all, major inconvenience but life is good considering what I am hearing from friends and family.

You are the Most. Expensive. Dog. Ever.

Thank goodness you’re so cute, and thank goodness our vet is DH’s cousin, so we get the friend’s and family discount. But really – cut it out.

Your wife sucks at her job, and I should know, it was mine once and I do not want it back for free. And don’t you ever condescend to me like that again. You’ve mistaken me for parishoner who will give up, give in, sit down and shut up. I was here way before you, buddy, and I’ll be here long after you are assigned again. Ideas and philosophy don’t get it done, and pointing out people’s burdens isn’t the same as carrying them. For shame on you. And God help us.

Is it evil to be grateful to be asked to do a funeral on Saturday which now gives me an excuse to miss our denomination annual meeting?

Wow. Don’t you just absolutely hate it when you want to do a doctor shadowing but every clinic around you is just a physical therapy clinics with no MD?

They don’t even accept volunteers.

I need the right words and pray you are open to our conversation. It worries me that you think 27 hours/week of work is too much, when you are doing nothing else but video games.

Don’t get fired. Don’t get fired. Don’t get fired.

Why am I not surprised you didn’t want us to know. That hurts.

Why does your family invite themselves and then decide to come a day early without confirming with us. It’s a good thing that you called tonight because it would’ve gotten real ugly real fast tomorrow.

No, we can’t go for walks. No, you can’t go outside without being on the leash. No, you can’t jump off the bed. This is important for your long-term well-being. Get with the program.

And while we’re on the subject, can we sleep later than 5:00 AM?? I know it’s light out, but that’s really really too early.

Five days is great, but only for you. Not for the working couple in a house that isn’t set up yet. Read between the lines. It is a big ask to stay that long.

The days turn into weeks. The weeks turn into months. I can’t seem to find the joy in anything with you absent from my life.

I simply cannot believe that you would email that there is a letter for me without
also saying who it is from…
Given our past conversations I am suddenly wondering if you are angry with me or just
simple minded. Gads. Super upset with you.

I didn’t think they could decide not to vacate an apartment that has been rented to someone else now a week before they are supposed to leave, but you will figure something out.
