Just when I thought it was safe....

The Super Bowl Dilemma cranked up to high gear.
Yep, I should have known better.
After saying it was fine that we stay here a couple days ago, last night JN did another 180 and decided to dig his heels in, once again lobbying to go watch the Super Bowl at his coworkers'.
Apparently, JN tried to use the "we're not sure we can get a sitter" out with his buddy, to which his buddy said -- you guessed it -- just bring the kids along!
And when I was less-than-thrilled at that prospect, JN looked at me as if *I* was crazy.
I gave him my best arguments for staying here for the game -- arguments that I think, deep down, he agrees with.
But he's dead-set on going, and is now treating me like a stick in the mud for not wanting to go.
He decided to launch into a whole "you never wanna go anywhere" thing (which is patently FALSE -- I swear he makes this shit up), turning this disagreement into a blanket indictment on aspects of my character in general, capping it all off by telling me I can be a "drag."
Nice.
Even when I've thought he was being a "drag," I would *never* say that to him.
I know how shitty that makes a person feel -- especially the one you're supposed to love and care about hurting their feelings.
But again with him, it's more important that he "win" the argument than spare my feelings.
After that wonderful moment, I called him on it and told him he was being unfair, and then I got met with the patent "oh settle down and stop making this such a big deal" thing.
I wonder how he would feel if I *ever* talked to him the way he's talked to me on several occasions over our 15 years together.
So what did I do?
Give in, of course.
So, I'm looking for a sitter for Sunday -- great, huh?
I should have known I'd be giving in eventually.
I should have just given in initially, so I could have been spared the bonus insult I got while trying to calmly discuss the whole thing.
He's not an asshole, but he sure is good at playing one sometimes!
So, yeah....Super Bowl Sunday is not gonna be what I wanted.
And I got insulted to boot.
Very nice.
So, I'm not in a great frame of mind today....I hope to be all sunshine and roses tomorrow.
Have a day!
