Very inconsiderate of your W Navigator, what happened to 'communication' which is so vital after MLC?
Communication?
Most times it happens, sometimes it doesn't.
I told my wife that the worst thing about this particular situation is that I know she will do it again.
She needs to re-evaluate what is really important to her.
She does. I said to her that she can bleat all she wants about a house being the most important thing to her but that it evidently isn't, otherwise she would have been insisting we put money aside for a move all this time. If her words and her actions are out of sync then her words become worthless instantaneously.
Instead she has been more than happy to go on vacation instead.
I'm not sure your 'tit for tat' reaction was the best idea? Pretty juvenile of both of you in this case.
So what am I supposed to do?
This holiday is presented to me as a fait accompli and I'm checkmated into taking leave because D7 and S1 need looking after.
If I have to take leave then I'm certainly not going to sit around at home - I'm going to do something worthwhile with it, otherwise it's a complete waste.
I'm
done with this "being the better person" crap. Look where it's got all of us on here. Granted, my wife and I are still married, have made a family and it's more positive than it is negative, but our marriage still isn't what it could be.
Possibly taking a course on improving communication would benefit you both. If you keep going on this way, the marriage could end.
I know, and I am more or less in the process of making peace with this outcome.
Our kids saw us get out of debt and build a four month reserve (which we still have) but I would agree that our marriage isn't one which I want them to have.
My parents' marriage is not a role model for my own one either.
