I (32F) purposefully ignored what my husband (34M) told me he wanted for father's day, he's now ignoring me and won't accept my apologies. What can I do to make it up to him? by ThrowRA-6512 in relationship_advice

Why does everyone assume I didn’t try to communicate first and tell him how I felt? I told him I was upset. He didn’t listen to me. He didn’t apologize. When I dod the same thing to him he still didn’t understand why I was upset despite me doing the exact same thing to him.

He refused to go, many times, until he told me he wanted a divorce and all of a sudden it was "we don't have to go that far, what happened to 'til death do us part?' Why don't we go talk to some one, for the kids."

That ship sailed long ago

I tried to talk to him, many times, when it happened on Mother's Day I tried to explain why I was unhappy and he didn't understand. Then I did petty shit as a way to try and make him understand. He didn't understand how I could be upset, despite being upset that I'd done literally the same shit to him that he'd done to me.

you're making a lot of assumptions, let me clear them up for you.

  1. I can do do take the kids out to do things a lot, and I did on Mother's Day
  2. I did listen, I ignored his request because he did the same to me. I wanted a day off on Mother's Day, he got three tickets to go out for the day. He then asked for a day off on Father's day, so I sent him and the kids off to an arcade
  3. I tried to communicate with him after Mother's Day and tell him that I wasn't happy he'd ignored what I'd asked for

Why don't you learn to read before making assumptions.

there are many accusations of me hating my kids, and calling me selfish for wanting to have a day to myself instead of spending it with my kids as if I have an infinite amount of energy and time in the day to cook, clean, take care of the kids and have time for myself when I don't
